When the Day Met the Night

I thought through everything before I came to Nebraska except meeting new people---that didn't even cross my mind. So, that's something I've been figuring out. I know that when the other interns start working at Mosaic then things should be a lot easier for me. In the meantime though, I'm participating in a campus ministry for the summer that I'm hoping will help me out with this. It's through First UMC of Omaha and a few people went gardening last Thursday.

I planted collards:


Got my hands dirty:


On Friday I spent the morning with Dana and had a lot of fun running a bunch of errands with her. We went to Sam's Club and bought a bunch of food for a cook-out Mosaic and other church's are having for the Park Ave. Neighborhood.


Dana took me to Runza, a fast food chain that is local to Nebraska. While it was very good, I probably won't continue to go there because of how much grease I probably put into my body in one sitting.


Liz and I explored Omaha last night. She took me to this walking bridge that starts in Nebraska and ends up in Iowa. So, I essentially walked to Iowa last night.

So, that's basically what I've been up to the past couple of days. While I'm the kind of person that likes to stay super busy, I think not having tons of things to do has been good for me in a way. I've slept a lot---something I don't do when I'm in college and I've been able to just go exploring and get lost, which is kind of cool.

Until later,
