So much people have opened up and helped out homeless people and showed those people Christ. The main part of what we learned is that everyone has a story that is important to know about because that’s the best way you will ever truly know a person.

It’s for low income families so that they can help their children get a good education. They were all so happy to see us when we came in. Each child got to pick out a book to keep and take home at the beginning. We got to read the book they chose to them.

Yesterday we left bear trap ranch at about 12:45, and drove 3 hours to the church we are staying at in Denver. We unpacked and settled into our rooms. After that, we went out to dinner at a Mexican resturaunt. The food was great and they had some VERY hot salsa.

Shayna and I watched people repel and then Levi showed up.

Thank God I am alive. The day has been enormously eventful- at least compared to yesterday. Waking up at 9 in the morning I never could of imagined what I was about to see. Since entering Colorado I had been searching in the distance for any sign of these alleged mountains.

I was there all week and had the chance to walk the streets and hike the mountains. Though Denver is a very clean and pretty city, if you look close enough you can see poverty and homelessness all around you.

It’s that simple. We must decide if we want to join, thousands of other students uniting to do the 30 Hour Famine. We will learn about hunger - and then do something about it. We will raise funds. Experience hunger for ourselves.

The group I was with went to help at St. Vincent’s again. Tori and I went to the same room because we loved the kids so much. This time when we came in they were just as excited to see us as we were to see them (which was super exciting).
