Day 71 November 2

 Today we had church.  Since Christian had to go early to do music, he left on his bike and left Naomi with me.  She "helped" with some chores around the house and cheered me on while I ate breakfast.  She did help unload the dishwasher and tell me who all the dishes belonged to.  We eventually headed to church and we had a childrens story for the first time since I have been here.  After church we had donuts as usual and then the kids had sunday school.  After church we headed home and had some lunch.  After lunch I spent a long time trying to figure out where to go roller skating on a Tuesday and eventually had to give up.  Chrsitian and I had our one on one in the afternoon and since it was such a nice day we biked to Josh and Johns for some ice cream.  When we got our ice cream we biked over to a park to have our one on one since we had Naomi with us.  After the one on one we went home and I made some eggs for the week and I taught Naomi how to do it.  She is pretty good at stiring the eggs before they go on the stove, she is not good at cracking eggs yet, she managed to drop 2 spatulas on the ground and drop some egg.  Overall we have some work to do, but definitly a solid first time.  After we made eggs I helped Christian in the kitchen some and Naomi and I had some cereal and some blueberries.  Then it was time for Naomi to go to bed and I had to use my phone as a baby monitor so we could hear if she woke up during supper and business meeting.  Chrisitan had made breakfast casserole for supper.  Since supper was so late most people went to bed right after supper.

Day 28

We got up at 3:30, hoping to hit the road at 4 and then be on the trail at 4:30.  We were pretty close to on time.  We were hiking Mount Princeton.  Since we were in a van, we had to hike from the lower parking lot up a Four Wheel Drive trail for 3 to 4 miles.  When we finally hit single track, it didn't take long for us to be rock scrambling.  We had about 3 miles of rock scrambling to the top.  About half of it was just along the side of the mountain, but then we really turned uphill and had a pretty steep scramble to the top.  We finally made it to the top, and it was an amazing view for a little bit.  A snowstorm was moving in quickly, and we watched it start from a nearby mountain and slowly come toward us.  We had a slippery scramble down the shale on the mountain.  Then the snowstorm caught us, and it was kind of just a sleet, but it made all the rocks very slippery.  By this point, some people were fighting headaches.  ...

Day 26

Today I was with maintenance again.  We started off by going to Arcadia to do some inspections.  These rooms were much better kept than the last apartment we did inspections in.  We only had to do 3 rooms, so it didn't take long.  Then Bill took me over to Bentley, where I continued taking pictures again.  I did pictures most of the day, and then Bill picked me up at about 3:30 and we headed back to the office.  It was my day to cook, so I decided to make a pizza, which turned out pretty well.  After supper, we decided to try another community youth group for young adults again.  It was kind of like a church service with singing and a sermon.  I was not super into it because it was a non-denominational group, and they just do things a little differently.  On the bike ride home, my chain fell off while crossing the bridge over the highway.

Day 32

Today was pantry day.  Since Trilby hurt her finger yesterday, she tagged along with me to the pantry.  I started by running to Home Depot to get a wagon wheel for the wagon at the pantry.  When I got back from Home Depot, we picked up Doug and went over to the pantry.  Jenni was sick today.  We dropped Doug off at the pantry and then went to pick up the food at Sprouts and Trader Joe's.  We had a relatively light haul from Sprouts, but a fairly substantial haul from Trader Joe's.  We got everything put away in the pantry in record time and then had time for a good, long lunch break.  There were not a lot of good options for lunch, but eventually I found a pretty good sandwich.  After lunch, we started the pantry and had about 20 to 30 people come through.  It was not that many people at the end of the month, because usually by that time their government funds have run out.  Once we hit about 2 o'clock, we pretty much didn't have an...
