My name is Alyssa Babin, this is my
third mission trip and so far it is going very well. In my group I am with Tim,
Sofia, Anna, June, Rachel, Keziah, Lauren and we also have three people with us
from Los Vegas, Nevada. They are cool people so far. On Monday we went to a
retirement center which I am always place into a home for the elderly, I
usually do not like being in places like that but this time I very much enjoyed
it.
Today was an amazing day because we
went to the zoo and got to walk around and see some of the animals and go on
the rides for free. What we did at the zoo was we pulled weeds and morning
glory which was hard but fun to clear out. We got help from another group from Kohl’s.
I didn’t personally speak to them, but they were hard workers. Before we went
to lunch as a group we got to go on a ride that is similar to a ski lift. And
on the ride we went over the tigers, elephants, giraffes, lions and camels. On
our way back down to the bottom of the hill there were three male lions and one
of the lions started to roar an then the there was a lion fight. After the zoo
we went to the food bank were we packaged carrots and tied bags for foods in
the future to be packaged. For tomorrow my group will be going to the farm. And
I am looking forward to tomorrow.
Alyssa, Thanks for your post. The zoo sounds like it was a lot of fun. I am glad you enjoyed being at the retirement center. I bet the people you talked to there were really happy to meet you and talk to you. Enjoy the rest of your service projects this week.
