Its been a couple days since my last post. To be honest, they are all a blurr. More training, community building and planning for our commitment service. The commitment service is an evening where faith community alumni and agency people come to the house and we put on a banquet-ish thing. It is our official induction into the program. After living in this house with 15 or so people, we had a lot of cleaning to do and cooking and decorating and all kinds of fun stuff - but it went really well.
Today, people at the different sites will be traveling there (Ft. Lauderdale and Atlantic City). Its sad to see them go, but I know they are excited to get started. The people who are staying in New York will be going to the agency later today to get our job placements and get started!
So now the bad news :( Last night I was getting into a storage cupboard when the door to the cupboard fell of its track and landed on one of my toes (and these are no small doors). It instantly began bleeding and, upon further inspection, it broke my toenail off right at the base. Luckily we have two nursing majors in the house right now, so they took good care of me. Right now its all bandaged up and I will be going to some sort of foot doctor later today to see what needs to happen. So that's no fun, especially with the amount of walking we have to do - but I'm tough, right? Haha. Well that's all for now - I will know what my job will be by tonight. Peace!

Zack,
So, I'm guessing you thought that phone call this morning would happen BEFORE I read this little bit about the foot injury, NOT!! I know now when I pray for your safety, I need to be more specific in my prayers, because I honestly have been more worried about someone attacking you, than you being a hit by a wayward door. Stay safe
I love you,
Mom
Good morning, Zack
How are you this morning? Sorry to hear about your little accident. I'm sure it really hurt. Just as Scott! Hope it is feeling much better today. What did the doctor have to tell you?
I'm sure you are working hard today. You take care and you are in our prayers.
Love you, Mama
Those New York City doors are rough customers is sounds like. Who knew? Watch out for killer drawers - they could be next.
Just so you know, I was with your Mama when we heard about your toe. It will comfort you to know that, yes, she did fall over laughing while saying, "I know it's not funny". All is right with the world.
Uncle Scott
