Hey there, Gang. I'll be leaving tonight for a trip. I am going with my Church on a vacation, but there will be some work involved. We'll be rebuilding homes for poor families who's homes were destroyed by the recent floods in PA. This will be a great thing, to help these poor people. I hope to get a chance to see some historical sites in PA if all goes as planned. I'll be gone from late tonight till Tuesday AM. I know I'll have to do a lot of posting when I get back! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. -AC

Wow. Is it great to be back or what?! I am so tired. This was a LONG trip. I doubt I'll ever do anything like this again. The Motel we stayed in was horrible. There was drug dealing going on, and even prostitution in the next room over. We were very scared. The roach crawling across my bed was my limit. The door to the room literally fell off its hinges! It was a disaster. Helping the people rebuild was great, but it didn't last long. Another church was up there as well, and said that we were "invading their work area." We were just trying to help! I apologize for not taking pictures but I am in sheer disgust right now and I was like this the whole trip. It did not help that the driver of the bus, (my pastor) had no clue where he was going. We were supposed to arrive back home around 4:30 today, but as you can see by my time of posting, I just got home an hour ago. (10:00 PM!) I am just glad I am home....and thank God I'm alive! I'm glad that it is over!

Yikes! Glad to have you back, especially in one piece. That's a living nightmare.

Thanks, MA. It was a living nightmare! The first thing I did was kiss the ground and take a shower. You feel itchy just thinking about being there again. *Shudders*
