QC Adventures of KB and MK :)

Dearest dear Blog,
I have found delight in having no air conditioning in where we are staying, washing our hair and body in the sink, and walking around with a fan. With the different surroundings and atmoshpere it has been a GREAT learning experience and its only day one!
Today i played with adorable children and did paper mache....WATER PARK TONIGHT.


Time to eat mi pasta :)

Whoo! What a day. It wasn't too hot today, unlike yesterday! I got to go to the Lydia Home today and play with some kids. I built some transformers with some awkward Lego's. FUN! I needed help from a friend because I was building it wrong, oops. Then I built some cool glasses Jillyan and I wore. Then we got to go play at a church where there was a big gym and a nice air conditioned basement with some fun games. We then returned to the Lydia House to hang for a few minutes before the kids left. Now we're back at our housing unit and just hanging out before dinner. PASTA TONIGHT! HURRAY!

More updates to come, I promise.

Our 1st Day

This morning we went to Willow Creek and it was great!  It was like being in a stadium filled with people all worshiping the Lord.  After church we went on our way to the Quad Cities.  When we got to the Quad Cities we realized that it was a lot hotter than we had all planned for.  And to make it worse we realized that the place we are staying in doesn't have any A.C.  and then we had worshiping time with our friends who come to the quad cities from different churches.

hurch really pumped us up for the week ahead of us! Keep us in your prayers! --- Allison & Jillyan :)
Church was amazing this morning! Willow creek is huge! The speaker had a great message! God is a God of grace. We are so excited to spread His word this week. C

Our Day in Chicago!

Yesterday was fun, the best part was visiting the John Hancock building we bought souvenirs and Ben bought a pink shirt and a pink monkey.Then we went to lunch at Foodlife where we were able to choose many entrees. After that we went to Navy Pier, Navy pier is an amusement park where you can ride rides, eat junk food, take boat rides, and a maze; that we all finished. The train ride was interesting. Then we went to the hotel, and went for pizza and then we came back and went swimming! Breakfast was amazing too! We ate waffles with whip cream, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, and caramel with soda to drink! Healthiest breakfast ever!
- Jonny, Jake, Justice, and Nati.

P.S. This is Pastor Mike. Though I ate with the boys at the same table, I was extremely tired and out of it and can in no way be held responsible for the breakfast the above listed boys ate. Thank you!
