Well, now we have to switch from a really nice hotel (internet and TV!) to a school. We were supposed to get a wake up call at 6:15, cus breakfast started at 7, but our room (which had four people in it) didn't get anything... So we woke up, and broke the record for having the fastest pack and change ever!
Then we went back to
shove more spanish stuff in WYD bags, we had a little trouble getting through the "guards" outside the building (they didn't believe we were their to help!). I don't know how many we've done today, but their were some big ups about todays work; we got some good looking foreign guys to helps us out with cutting packages and moving heavy boxes, also we have the possibility of getting a private audience with the Pope because we're volunteering and all volunteers get one! We ate lunch where the volunteers eat, and again no one believes we were supposed to be their! Well, once we were done ( worked on this ;) ) and met a Polish man named Yatsick (phrenetic spelling, not how you actually spell it!) and I gave him one of my Marian Minute bracelets
and he gave me a Divine Mercy card and a postcard for were Blessed JPII was born.
Then we had mass, before it started I met a guy from South Africa and a girl from Alaska! After mass we worked on the last few boxes of bags left. We had to get all of our groups together in a small room, when before we were split up and had more room (like before lunch, they changed it on us), but we still got it all done even with the claustrophobic room.
Well, now were in our home for the rest of the trip! It's a very sketchy school with 10 showers and two toilets! Tomorrow morning/tonight should be fun...
Other fun fact about this is our group of about 100 are the only ones staying here! And that we're sleeping in a gym, and all i've got is my supper thin sleeping bag :/.
I did get to play soccer with the three American and one Spanish (Madrid) boys in our group, now that was fun.
