Are You Cold?

So Thursday was Food Bank of the Rockies, I went late because the ministry's fan broke down and Vicki needed me to follow her to the mechanic, more about that later. So when I got to the food bank I found Jewell, Matti, and Luke, they were filling web orders. Matti and Luke decided to go start on another order and me and Jewell would finish the current one. So we're loading food on this palate that's attached to a manual fork lift type thing, I'm the one driving it, it was pretty interesting. After we fill the order we have to get the industrial saran wrap and wrap it up, good thing I have practice using industrial saran wrap. I tried really hard not to laugh as it was pointed out that I was good at saran wrapping. Next order we got to fill was a huge web order that was several palates, it was insane. After lunch we got to go in the back and empty palates of donated meat and frozen items into carts. After we filled the wall with boxes and I spilled cookie dough all over the floor, Matti and I started to break all the boxes down and take them to the trash compacter, if I ever have to break down another box it'll be way too soon. The other wonderful thing about the food bank, I think I almost got ran over by all the different fork lifts about 100 times. Vicki didn't have anything pressing for us when we got back so I went for a drive and found a Chipotle!!! I don't think I have ever been so happy to see a familiar mexican restaurant. I had some reservations about eating alone, but after I took the first few bites, it wasn't so bad. Thursday night we walked Colfax spreading the word to the community about the block party we are throwing next Saturday, that was pretty interesting and fun. So Friday morning I got to drive to Colorado Springs to pick up our kids that went to camp this week. Our van, which I mentioned earlier started smoking and overheating Wednesday night, the repairs are ridiculously expensive and we have no idea how we're going to get it fixed. The drive was gorgeous and gave me a chance to make some phone calls and let people know how I was doing. We got to the campsite at the top of some mountains, and me being the brilliant person I am, I had on shorts and a tshirt, it was just a little cold. On the drive back I had Sergio, Arturo, and Victor in my car, they were hilarious, I loved getting to hear about their experiences from camp. When we got back to Denver and were dropping the kids off Victor proceeded to tell me that I sounded like the Grandma from Hannah Montana. The really funny part of this is, Jewell, Matti, and Luke refer to me as Grandma since I'm so much older than everyone and I made a stupid comment referencing it trying to pick on Luke in one of the first days. After taking all the kids home I came back to the facility and helped the other interns finish cleaning up because we are hosting a church youth group next week that is coming on missions. Friday night Jewell and I grabbed some dinner at Outback and went for a drive to Littleton. Aside from the awkward man from Boston that kept talking to Jewell while we were trying to eat, it was a great dinner. We were going to go to a coffee house that's down the street from us and watch a movie, but decided not to because it didn't look like anyone was there. So we came home and watched Remember the Titans, I FINALLY saw it!!! Today we took a drive to Mount Evans in Idaho Springs, more to come on that later, for now I'm off to bed, we host church in the morning, are going to Scum of the Earth church tomorrow night and have 2 groups coming in to start missions work for a week, it's going to be an interesting Sunday!

Much love!!
