Great Weekend!

So my dad just left  awhile ago and I am feeling a little down. It was so good to see him, I felt the visit was so quick and yet it was almost three days. So this week we are going to a camp, somewhere in Mississippi. Our team leader said it would be a "team building" experience. I am excited and at the same time nervous. So recently I was given the title NDRS, and I am still in the dark about my specific role. I read about it but still a little confused. So a recap from this week; Hands of Peace Training. Hands of Peace was training about listening and personal skills. We were trained in First aid, and CPR.   We were given a training session about Diversity which was a great session. So the weekend started off from my dad picking me up at 6:30pm we had dinner at Rusty's, which was awesome! Saturday I started off with a run in the morning and then we went to the military park and did a 16 mile driving tour about the Vicksburg battle ground. Also visited the USS Cairo Museum. We went to the Vicksburg  Lower Mississippi River Museum and toured the massive ship connected to the museum. Ate lunch at Rowdy's and had a mean catfish salad. Went to see the movie The Butler and had a great dinner with dad and Julie at Newk's! Sunday we went to the First Christian Church of Vicksburg for the second time. We had lunch with one of the congregation members and his daughter. They were so kind and compassionate, they are truly selfless people. Then dad dropped me back off at Americorps. Sad to have him leave but, life goes on.
