We woke up today for an 8:00 breakfast. Breakfast was cooked by some nice ladies from the Kansas School of the Deaf and some people from the city of Olathe. Today was jammed packed with friendship visits, and our first was at a place called Batheseda. This was a place with housing and complete supervision over the clients. Pretty much all of the people with disabilities we interacted with were very non-functional, so the friendship visit was tough. I am glad Ashley was able to come out and see what the Journey of Hope is all about.
Our second friendship visit was at a sheltered workshop. We all played BINGO for an hour or so. I played with a lady named Janice and also met a guy named Matt who was a huge chiefs fan. It was fun.
For our third friendship visit, we went to Mark Cameron’s house. Mark Cameron is on the Olathe board for people with disabilities, and is a quadriplegic. He is completely paralyzed from the neck down, and he invited us over to his house to see the equipment he uses to overcome his disability. It was really cool to see someone with a disability who has overcome so much adversary to be pretty much independent.
For dinner we went to Texas Roadhouse. It was delicious. Some of our guys even got to line dance a little bit. It was really fun.
