It was another beautiful Southern California day to serve and love others. We woke at 7:30 and cleaned the CSM kitchen/lunchroom then we headed out the door to Faith In Christ Ministries. After Andrew reparked the van on the correct side of the street we dug in to four hours of various work projects around the community center, playground, and garden. Half the team cleaned the community center bathrooms floors and part of the kitchen (Jesse, Molly, Jill, Dan). The other half weeded the raised bed gardens (Mindy, Andrew, Jordan). After we got done early, even the sidewalks were swept and weeded. It's a good thing too, because four large vans rolled up on the urban playground and a legitimate Nike shoe commercial started filming scenes right where we were working. After our chance encounter with the "film industry" of California we went back again to Red Shield. The students were expecting us and we had a great time playing all sorts of games with them. Dinner was at a nice little Thai food restaurant on Sunset Blvd. Everyone on the team really enjoyed this meal (and some used chopsticks more successfully than others). We came back to our South LA housing early and had time to relax and play card games.
