Today we slept in until 8:15, and then went to the Artesinger’s house for breakfast. Their son is a KU alumni and did the Journey of Hope a couple of years ago. Breakfast was great, and we watched the tour de France live. It was awesome. I never thought I would get so excited by a bike race, but today’s stage had a great ending. The Columbia team won for the day, which was sweet.
Immediately after leaving the Artesinger’s we went to Rainbows United INC to have lunch and a friendship visit. Rainbows United INC’s motto is “Giving potential to life” and they work with children with all types of disabilities. When we got there, there was a camp going on and the camper’s in the choir put on a show for us. The sound system they were using was purchased with a grant the Journey of Hope team gave them which was awesome. The sound system allows the choir to travel, and yesterday they performed at city hall. That was really awesome.
I spent most of the day with a kid named Brandon. At lunch we had strawberry shortcake and spray whip cream. Our team started spraying it in our mouths, and soon we got the campers and administration doing it. It was great. After lunch we sang some songs, and sort of ran things for a bit. We presented Rainbows United with a grant, and loaded up the vans and left.
When we got back to the hotel, I was exhausted. I took a two hour nap to get ready for our friendship visit. The nap felt great, but when we arrived at the Indpendent Living Center, we found another friendship visit that wasn’t really a friendship visit. It was disappointing and awkward. After dinner we had a team meeting to discuss the upcoming week. I’m excited to see friends and family.
