May 27

Today was fun, as well as a lot of hard work. We set up for the garage sale at 8:00 am today, which meant a lot of lifting again today. We went and picked up some other really big items this morning that got donated at the last minute. The sale went alright, but I wish we had gotten more traffic than we did. Then, at around 3, it started pouring down rain, so there was a lot of running around and covering stuff with tarps and all that jazz. I got a little break in the middle of the day because of the rain, in which I took a nap. Then it was off to the high school graduation ceremony. I did the math, and based on how many kids my class had and the amount of time we took, it should have taken the Riggins class around 6 minutes to graduate… it didn’t quite happen that way, but it was a pretty good graduation all in all. I got to hear the book “Oh The Places You’ll Go” read to me… twice. My jokes are making it sound a lot worse than it was. It was a nice ceremony. Afterward I had my first contact with some youth. I went and hung out with Mark and some of his friends. They could definitely use a Christian influence, but they are a group of kids that have potential. It’s hard to describe… they just need some help. I’m just praying God will show me how to provide it.
