Day 122 January 7

 Today was pantry day.  We left early today because Doug had to go up to Woodland Park at 10, so we had to have the pickup done by then.   When we returned from the pickup, we put everything away.  When we had finished putting the Trader Joe's items away, the Sprouts items showed up.  We ended up with probably 25 boxes full of bread today.  Once we were done putting things away, we took lunch and then opened up.  I was on wagon duty today, which just involves carrying out people's stuff, so it was really easy, especially because it was such a warm day.  I had other little things to do around the pantry today, but overall it was a really smooth day.  At the end of the day, we packed up and headed back to the office.  When we got to the office, we unloaded stuff, and then I waited for Christian to meet me with the trailer to pick up my box from the pantry.  Once we had met up, we rode down to the ice cream shop and then went to the park to have our one-on-one.  After our one-on-one, we rode down to a small market and got some raspberries for supper.  Trilby was cooking tonight, and she had her host family over to help her cook, and then they stayed for supper.  After supper, Trilby led us in worship night.  We started by going for a walk and thinking about either a bible verse or a song that meant something to us.  I choose "Taste and see that the lord is good".  We walked around for about 20 minetes and then we met back up in the basment to make some art related to the verse or song we thought about.  After worship night I did some research on the potential vans the support commitee was looking at buying and then I went to bed.

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 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...

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.
