Life in the City

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated. Life has in general been pretty crazy. I have officially been here two weeks and I am almost positive that I love living in Philadelphia. The neighborhood is of course very different that what I am used to. If you want more of an idea just google or wikipedia the area of South West Philadelphia and there should be some information there.

This past week and this week will be spent in training and in getting to know our neighbors. I am also trying to pin down where I will serve the community in the mornings.

We have some really cool neighbors on our street. On Saturday we got invited to a Jamaican Bar-b-que complete with jerk chicken, curried goat, and ox-tail. It was an adventure for sure. I will try to post more stories later as they come up. Today is actually the first time I have checked my e-mail since I have been here so my Internet access is sporadic.

Hope everyone is having a great week in Texas!
