Today was an awesome day that I really needed.
First we started off by goin to church in the morning. We split all 32 of us into 6 seperate churches around the Juneau community to try and help as many churches as we can. I went to Glacier Valley Baptist and it was really old school baptist feel. They have a pretty big college aged sunday school class that was cool. Kind of awkward because we didn't know half the people but it will definitely get better next week and for the rest of the summer. The preacher was pretty cool too. He was real old school as well. He cracked a few jokes but kept it pretty simple and preached on giving. I thought it was funny how the first sermon we heard was about giving haha.
Then we went to a local church families house. It was the Buck family that they were incredibly hospitable and welcomed us in like family. The wife of the family has a scent allergy so we had to wash our clothes in a specific detergent, couldn't wear deodorant, cologne, shampoo our hair, or wear body wash. She apparently gets migraines from a lot of artificial scents. Bless her heart though because I can tell from being around her for a few hours that she still loves to have people around!! We ate some hot dogs then the best chocolate cake of my life. After that we played volleyball with the Bucks for 3 hours. That was also fun. We also quoted some movies with the boys and I think our church group is gonna be a ton of fun!
Then I got to go meet Kaitlin's dad which was good. I wanted to make a good impression so I was nervous but I had a good time and I hope he did too. I already met her little brother and he seems like a pretty chill kid too. We had some pork ribs and hung out. It was great to see Kaitlin for a few hours!!
Then we went and played frisbee. That was a ton of fun as well because I hadn't played frisbee in a long time! I really had fun when I got to beat the KU girl and rub it in her face. That is always fun...haha.
Overall a great day and we are gonnna go share the gospel downtown tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous but I know its gonna be a learning experience. I just need to learn not to be ashamed to talk about my beliefs. Being bold in my faith is something I need to work on and I hope it happens tomorrow. I'll keep you updated with a post tomorrow

so real and fun to read. Must have been great playing frisbee with a bunch of people without deodorant. Very sweet and a blessing to that lady that you all accommodated her allergies...allowing her to still have people over and serve despite her problems.
