I Want To So Bad

I really really, really, want to go to Africa.

Random?
I think not, and let me explain.

Tonight Austin, Mary, and I are all sitting around and Mary is getting ready to leave, so I ask Austin if he is going to A.B.S.(area bible study[not working out]). We end up going. So I pull onto the neighborhood where the bible study is, I see every one's cars leaving. What the heck? So I give AJ a call, and they are all headed to the church for some AIDS thing, no idea what he is talking about. So Austin and I roll in, and see everyone standing next to this huge tent that has never been there before. So it ends up, my church is hosting this National AIDS sort of convention. This big tent we showed up at, was an AMAZING experience. It takes you on a sort of trail (picture a haunted house, minus the scary, popping out-ness of it) of a small African child that is affected in his/her own way by HIV/AIDS. It is mind blowing. At the end of it, it has a spot for you to write out a prayer or comment for victims, and there is a whole wall COVERED with little notes. There is also a little chapel setup that has dozens of pictures of people affected by this horrible disease. I want to go back again.

Please come with me.
It runs through this Saturday.

Let me know.

Thanks for caring,
Hasta la bye-bye.
