DAY ONE! (Sunday)
We sprang into the awkward politeness that comes with meeting strangers that are forced to share tight quarters, haha. It was beyond intimidating for me to show up and to only know one person- it felt like GSP all over again. But I am always so surprised with every Cru conference or meeting I go to with how humble, tender Christians are the kind of people that can quickly and easily and almost supernaturally form a body, a tight-woven community (I think that it is thanks to the Holy Spirit and our collective understanding of the Gospel). We had a picnic along with an orientation meeting where we discussed the schedule of project and different resources in our binder. I was pretty exhausted from early mornings and long car rides, so I turned in pretty early. My roommates were (and are) pretty cool, and my bedmate is sweet and does not snore. One of my roommates even reminds me of a once good friend of mine.
