Today was an incredibly blessed day for the whole group. I know that I have personally been able to grow so much more comfortable with going up to the men and starting a conversation. After working at the Father McKenna Center in the morning, we walked to a local church for a Peace Meal. This was an amazing experience as we were able to talk to homeless men, women, and children. Josiah provided entertainment with singing and invited guests to sing along with him. The rest of us served food, poured drinks, and washed dishes. For me, I was able to sit down at one point and talk to a man named Tyrone. He told us about his daughter and was very invested in what we had to say, asking us about our majors and why we were all in DC. This man showed great love for our group and upon leaving, Tyrone said that he hoped to meet us someday, but in a better situation. I know that for me, this day involved lots of great conversations with the men. I can't wait to see what the next two days bring.
