Friday!

Hello. It’s been a while since I have had contact with the electronic world, so this is kinda funny. It’s Natalie by the way.  I want to start the blog with a little summary, just because. This week has been so interesting. I’m sure you can tell from the blogs so far that it hasn’t been a mission trip like any other I’ve ever been on. We have been able to help so many people through actions that may have seemed smaller than other work we’ve done in past years and it’s really awesome when you think about it. The food bank serves thousands of people in a month, and we were lucky enough to be a part of that this week. I’ve personally learned a lot about trusting God and learning to be flexible because we have absolutely no clue how God is working in us and in our lives, even though we absolutely feel like we do.  ANYWAY, today we went to Niagara Falls.  AND so NATALLAYNA is gonna blog about that. 

So, in the morning, we drove over to Niagara with our small groups. (My group finally got an aux cord so WOOHOO for that. No more mystery music (radio))  *enter Allayna* Hi so we went to Niagara like Natalie said and we went on the Maid of the Mist, which is a boat that takes you under the falls if you didn’t know. (It was my first time I’ve ever been to Niagara and it was BEAUTIFUL -Nat) They give you ponchos so you don’t get drenched but turns out I put my poncho inside out and backwards so my hood did not go on correctly, so yeah I got drenched. Then we split up and had free time at Niagara. Natalie and I went with a group of 10 people to lunch and the Hershey store. (I got some appetizers and they were YUMMY- Nat) My group went to this little hiking place and swam under a waterfall with one other group and it was so fun and pretty, but we didn’t get to shower because we got back at 5:45 and showers closed at 6:00 L

*enter Natalie*

Instead of going to the other little falls my group headed home, showered and took some naps because apparantly we are allowed to stay up late tonight and also I was dead tired. Then, I played some cards and ate some dinner and now we are here writing this and are going to write the list of slang terms we learned from the Canadian guys here this week.
