Week 5 & 6




I've made it to Kansas City!!  Very exciting!!  No more emergency room trips on my end, but I did have to go to the doctor for a long-lasting stomach virus.  It lasted around a week, if not longer....  Yet the doctor kept insisting it would only last 48 hours even though it had already been four days...

Anyways!  So going to Kansas City was amazing!! After a bit of a delay we left, and we made it to St. Louis at 10 or 11 at night.  My best friend, Hannah, met us at the hotel.  We must've looked like in the movies (or a really bad version of it) as we ran and jumped into each other's arms.  My best memory here so far would probably be that.  It was so wonderful and unexpected seeing her.  We had only known for about a day that we would even be seeing each other.  And then the day of, I found out I was staying 10 minutes from where she lives!  Very exciting!! 




The next day we went to St. Louis and got to tour around a bit! That was fun!  I got to get pretty close to the Arch, go into some cool buildings whose names I have forgotten...  I also got to have AMAZING gormet sushi!  And I got a bunch of neat souveniers!





We've done some other really cool things like go to this coin meseum, shopping, and an art mesuem too!
 
With the shopping we did, I did go a little overboard. ;) But it was a lot of fun! I also got to see some cats at PetsMart




As for this WEEK and not this weekEND, work has been interesting.  I work with "Lessons Learned" which is where after a disaster, we receive the reflections and comments on what should change.  The complaints and compliments basically.
So far though, I haven't been able to do much...  I got to staple some papers today....  And I sat in a conference with the LOG Chief (I'm in LOG (Logistics) in FEMA Corps), so that was exciting.  And another big head.  By mistake, I managed to call the conference and everyone tried to figure out where the echo of their voices were coming from while I frantically tried to figure out how to hang up.  Luckily they never realized it came from me.  This happened a couple of hours ago so I'm still pretty emberassed. 
I attended a new church this past Sunday.  A couple of families were pretty nice to me but it isn't like the church in Vicksburg by any means.  Hopefully I'll like it more as I keep attending.
Please keep me in your prayers, I'll try to post again when I can.
