Today was another fun day.
I read with Sanjeev from FIU and Travis from GA Tech. Today's bride was 95 miles, but it was great weather toTerra's well as great road conditions so we flew right along.
After finishing our ride we quickly showered before programming for the day started. We then met Kathy, the lady who has coordinated all of our activities for the next few days in Wisconsin; she has literally planned everything!
For our friendship visit we headed to the local mall. Groups of 5 to 6 of us were paired up with an individual with a disability and we then shopped with them for the next couple hours. I was paired with a little girl named Abigail. She wasn't able to really communicate with us other than smiling and nodding, but we still had such a great time. We went to Claire's with her to look at jewelry. Next, we went to Build a Bear and built her a bear we named "Hope" for Journey of Hope. We recorded a JOH 2013 message and implanted it in the bear so every time she squeezes the paw she will hear our greeting.
After shopping we ate at the food court where I, of course, are Chinese.
Following dinner we were dismissed for the night. A small group of us decided to go see The Conjuring in theaters. This movie was terrifying. If you like to be able to sleep at night I recommend not seeing this movie.
Finally, after surviving the movie we headed to the laundromat. Kathy provided us with quarters as well as detergent so we are all taking advantage of doing our laundry.
Tomorrow is a jam packed day of friendship visits, but also a late wake up. I doubt I will be able to sleep in, but I will certainly lay on my nice air mattress bed as long as possible!
Thanks for checking in!
Love & Honor,
Beau
