I'm having a fantastic week! It's wonderful. Final's are tough, but that's just how it is. I have friends you guys! I don't know when it happened, but I made friends and i think I just didn't realize I did. I am loving the ministry i am doing at SAY YES with the innercity children. ahhhh I can't explain it! It's so great! I love those children. Earlier our RA's sent letter home asking our parents to send us a present here. My parents present isn't here yet. But I called home (even thought it;s past midnight) to make sure they sent one. I would have been sade otherwise. Everyone else got theirs tonight. some people parents didn't even send them presents. But the RA's got us all something (all whose parents slacked). We spent all day decorating for christmas. Pretty much, we ran out of time and Julia just stappled a cut up sheet of wrapping paper to the wall. It's tacky. But it's also sparkly, so I like it. The underground (the our brothers floor) decorated "the nightmare before chaunikah" or however you spell that Jake. I'm going christmas shopping tomorrow and I'm excited. selling back books will help cover the christmas costs. I called DAD BRIAN today. It's his birthday! yeah! I have a brother here named paul. I made him take my last name so now he's paul frank. Melissa asked me what a gynocologist is today. I had fun explaining that to her! hahaha! I pretty much decided for real that I want to move into the ghetto of LA at some point. Maybe even soon. Like next year at sometime. I want to live in one of the hotels that the poor people live in and just be there to help. I want to rely on them and have them rely on me and build relationships. I really can't wait! maybe I'll get shot, that would be really bad. But it'd be soooo worth it! Just think, drug dealers, prostitutes, crack adicts, theives, little children, crazy people. they all need an open door to come to sometimes. It would be just me either. It would be me and some guys and maybe some more girls. SUch a cultural experience. and making friends. ahhhhh sammie crazy. googley eyes
