We made it! I cannot explain my excitement that this day has finally arrived and also a pang of sadness that time is going by so quickly. I want this trip to last and last.
But for now let’s focus on right now! We arrived at
Community Collaborations International around 2:00 PM. After a long day of
traveling we were so excited to finally be meeting this organization that we
have planned with for months. The location and weather have been beautiful and
even though the living conditions are cozy, it is all a part of the ASB
experience!
We spent our first night in Biloxi with a trip to Walmart
(an ASB tradition) and a Sonic trip. It was hard to believe that this was day
one, especially by the laughing, hugging, and overall loving the group was
doing. How is it that 30 individuals can meld so nicely together from the
start?
I laughed and laughed today. I cannot say enough about how
much I truly enjoy being around this group of individuals. Some are here
because they have done service in the past; others are here because they are
just beginning the journey to service but together they are coming together to
dedicate themselves towards making a difference. Their passion and dedication
to the cause is remarkable and unstoppable. The workweek has not even begun and
I already know that what this group will accomplish will be nothing but
amazing. I am so proud of them all already.
Here is to a successful first taste of the workweek
tomorrow!
