Breaking Down Walls..... Or in Some Cases, Doors!!

Riker: "Look! This leaf looks like lips."

Notice our work on the Federal Budget!

Uses of Refrigerators with nothing to eat!

The Famous Ben's Chili Bowl

In front of the African American Civil War Statue


This morning we got to sleep in about half an hour later. We went to the New Community Church in a downtown part of D.C. The pastor of the church had us do an exercise prayer with each stretch or position having to do something with Jesus. Then we read Ephesians 2:14-18 and discussed breaking down the walls of hostility and peace. After the lesson he took us around the downtown parts of D.C. to show us that not everything the media magnifies, which would be mainly the bad things, is true, and that the neighborhood is actually safe and normal.

Then we went to Ben's chili bowl for lunch. Very many actors would eat there, mainly Bill Cosby.
After we got back from our morning adventure, me and garrett had the joy of finding out that our card would not open the door to the room. After Ray and Mason had gotten tired of trying to open it we decided to go complain at the front desk. That is when we got to meet the super cool maintenance guy, Calvin. First he tried to use his master key which didn't work so he showed us his secret passages through the hotel. After a long walk through the maintenance paths he got his "Door Cracker", which he used to reach under the door and open it from the inside, only to find that the door was also latched somehow. This made him mad. After a few minutes of trying to get it unlatched he got some plyers and diligently bent the latch so we got into our room.

Dear Riker & Everyone!
Glad to hear that you finally got into your room, and were not permanently lost in the hallways! The pics are terrific. Hope you enjoy your day today. So many are praying for all of you. Please say hi to the group for me. Blessings. Sue
