Seriously...?!?!!?

So, yesterday we said goodbye to our junior high friends and I welcomed another group. I did however have time to do laundry in between, but that's about it. I like staying busy, but I miss the ability to just sit and be, and not have to "be" the host. It's okay though, I love my job and I really enjoy this work and the cool people I've had the opportunity to meet and hang out with. But the truth is, this job isn't meant to be a lifetime position. I can't make relationships within my community or at a church, because my only free time is Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings. I've enjoyed my time, and I'm really looking forward to what the next two weeks bring me. Today I get a bit of a break during the afternoon so I'm really looking forward to that "me time".

Yesterday, being the first day with my new group meant "Prayer Tour". This will be my 5th prayer tour, so for the most part I feel like I've got it pretty well under control, until.................................................................

I had to do a "walkie-talkie" prayer tour, as the college group I'm working with has two vehicles. So, we're towards the end of the prayer tour when I hear screeching tires and a crash. We look behind us only to see that the car that was following us had been rear-ended: and the guy who hit them was driving away. We immediately took down the license plate number and went into action to call the police and make sure everyone in the car was okay. The accident took place in the Tenderloin, which is not the safest place in SF to be, especially at night. Almost immediately the car is surrounded by people who were on the street who had witnessed the accident. They were all very nice and polite, and gave us all the information needed regarding the accident, then began begging for money to compensate for their resources. We then drove to the police station to file a report, and spent at least 45 minutes in there filling out paperwork and getting all the necessary information to the officer.

Needless to say, this kind of put an end to the PT, so we drove home and the leader led the debrief session.

Never a dull moment...
