Hello again!
     I will continue where I last left off. In my last post I covered orientation in Ocean City. I'll try to put a few pictures up soon ( I'm not extremely computer savvy, so bear with me). Our second week started in Severn, Maryland. A family in the church was very gracious to open their home up to four teenage girls! The staff of the church were having their annual staff retreat for the first few days we were there, so we had a lot of free time to ourselves. On Monday, we were able to go into Washington D.C.. I had never been, so this made me super excited! I absolutely loved D.C.. We were only there for the day, so we did not get to see everything, but I really enjoyed it.
     Our host family took us somewhere a few days later. This place has become very dear to my heart. They are not very coomon down south, but they have them everywhere here! It's a little ice cream/ custard/ italian ice shop called Rita's. Someone needs to open one in Dickson for sure.
     Later on in the week when the staff came back, we helped to a good bit of office type work for them in preparation for their VBS. I hand-washed at least 100 baby food jars for the kids crafts. We did a bunch of nitty-gritty work that week, but we had lots of fun doing it. We had the opportunity to meet some super cool people and build neat friendships that I hope will last.
Thank you for your time
Brooke
