My time at HDC is halfway over already. I can hardly believe it! I've enjoyed learning more about the people I have been living with for the past 5 weeks. There's an openness and dare I say...vulnerability here that is inspiring. I am currently at home for a few days to meet up with my MST on how fundraising is going and such things and it was strange leaving Harrisburg for this trip home. I am grateful for this time of rest and know that many adventures are awaiting me in the next 5 weeks.
In closing I would like to demonstrate some of the crazy happenings/things that I have learned I will make a list:
1) We have several Starbucks addicts in the house
2) Hugs are a very common occurrence
3) Dutch Blitz is a very intense card game among us
4) Ice cream is sacred
5) Make over nights occur by the 5th week
6) Neighborhood children bring more love and joy than they realize
7) Trash pick ups make a difference
8) When you ask God how to make a difference in some one's life He'll give you the opportunity
9) Accents are very much welcomed in the house
10) You go about your day with the knowledge that your housemates will walk with you no matter where you are at in life
