A New Church and only one more day until campers!

Today was bright and early with a move to a new church! We drove to the new church, but it wasn't bad at all because on Saturday there is not nearly as much traffic on the roads! What that does mean is that there is no parking!!! So we drove around for fifteen minutes and finally found a spot about two blocks away. We got a tour of the church from Pastor Charlie then settled in and got ready to shop for food!!! It took us two trips to the grocery store to get all we needed. Okay and when I say all we needed I mean it took us two trips and as we were unloading we remembered that we had forgotten about four items. Oh and the groceries we did get will only last us one day....I guess the natives here may know of a better way then we do, but it seems that going to the grocery store would be such a pain. I already hate it and we have only been twice!!! You can't buy enough because there is no way to get it home!! We even had a cart thing, but it didn't hold enough. After traveling to the grocery store we headed to the $.99 store. Okay this was quite an adventure. I thought it would be like a Dollar General, but not quite there was stuff everywhere. Just thrown haphazardly. Very frustrating, but we got what we needed and got out. Also, I guess this is my small town roots showing through, but I'm so sick of being rushed around in this city!!! I feel like I'm rushed onto the subway, off of the subway, around the grocery store, across the streets. Okay, you get it now. I know it is probably a lifestyle you get used to, but right now it is just tiring. So we made it back to the church and we all took showers and got ready. We met this guy that is staying here at the church also this summer. He is actually interning for the summer in the city as a personal trainer or something. He knew someone that went to church here or something and knew they has an available room so he rented it out to do his internship. I think his name is Mark and I think he is from Texas. As you can tell we didn't talk to him long.... We decided to go to the Staten Island ferry because someone told us that it had an awesome view of the Statue of Liberty. Which it did and I will post pictures, but it is late now and I haven't put them on my computer yet. Sorry! The ferry was also very very cold. I did not pack properly for this weather. It has been cold and rainy the entire time we have been here. Hopefully it will warm up before too long though...After the ferry we walked around Wallstreet and took pictures by the bull. It started to rain so we headed back to the subway. We went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn near where we are staying. Then it was back to the church to practice skits for tomorrow! Campers come tomorrow at 4:00 so be praying for us!!! Now it is bedtime. We have a full week coming up!!! Love you all!
