Day 5

After another long night of mafia, the group woke up bright and early to eat another delicious breakfast prepared by Dave. This morning's breakfast was breakfast sandwiches with egg and sausage on English muffins.

At our normal times we left to go to the St. Luke's N.E.W. Life Center and Habitat for Humanity after preparing our lunches and drinking lots of coffee.

At the N.E.W. Life Center most of the group prepared boxes for families to pick up and helped out preparing lunch in the kitchen. A few of us were lucky enough to babysit the little ones upstairs in the play room. I was the fortunate one to get my face painted by a three-year-old with black and blue face paint. Meanwhile, the other group was getting a tour of a couple more Habitat for Humanity facilities downtown before doing more work at the two houses we've been working on all week.

After their work, the Habitat group went to the famous Gillie's everyone has been telling us about to get Coneys (which are basically really awesome hotdogs) with a few of the Habitat workers.

After lunch everyone went back to Northridge Academy where the students were wrapping up their class exercises before their fun for the afternoon. The older kids at school had a dance in the cafeteria starting at two o'clock while the younger students watched movies and ate pizza in their classrooms. Some of us decided to join the awkward middle school dance and showed the kids our moves. At the end of the day we had to say goodbye to all of the wonderful students because today was the last day we are working with them.

The Northridge Academy basketball team had a game at 5:30pm against the staff, which half of us attended before dinner. It was quite a game and very fun to watch. When we left at halftime, the students were winning by 3 points.

When we got back to the house we had a lot of visitors here to join us for dinner including Leslie from Habitat, Tyler who is Steve's friend, and several people from N.E.W. Life Center. We had steak for dinner, an ASB Thursday night tradition, and Grace was determined to finish the beans. Dave told us that if we didn't finish the beans from dinner the other night, we would have to eat them for breakfast tomorrow, so basically Grace ate them all and ended up the real MVP.

After dinner we had our daily reflection and played more mafia!

Overall it was a great day for everyone filled with more laughs and awesome people from this wonderful community!
