But down to details: there was a heavy thunderstorm in the Indianapolis area this morning, so my flight out of Indy was delayed by an hour and 15 minutes. When we finally arrived in Dallas/Fort Worth, I sprinted to the next gate, only to find that my next plane to L.A. had left 5 minutes ago. I barely managed to get on a flight a little bit later on standby though, which was a major blessing! To top it all off, the lady I sat next to on that flight into L.A. is working with a non-profit company that's working to reduce homelessness in Skid Row, nearby where we're living, and she was able to tell me some things about the area.
My luggage somehow got on the same flight that I barely got on (another blessing!), and I was soon picked up with all my luggage by two of the members of the Summer In The City staff. We're now at our house, which is right in the middle of Koreatown here near downtown Los Angeles. It's a big green house, and I'm sharing a room with 3 other college-age men, Matt, Luk, and Josh. We've already been able to share with each other about our backgrounds, share Scripture verses with each other, and we've decided to pray together each night before we all go to bed. We're actually the only men students here, and I'm really excited to get to know these guys better over the next 7 weeks.
We also met up with our entire group of students and staff earlier tonight. We received a big binder full of details about our summer project here, so things are very well planned out. I can share more of that later, but right now it's 10:30 local time, which means 1:30 on my internal clock. And we have breakfast at 7:30 tomorrow! So I'm heading to bed. More to come...
