So, the days have gotten progressively better. I forgot to mention yesterday that Sachiko came to visit me on saturday afternoon. If you read this Chiko, thanks for coming out. That was the highlight of saturday. After she left I started to get that lonely feeling again but not as bad as friday. I ended up watching 30 Rock for a few hours and that helped to calm me down.

Sunday started off great. I attended my first service at Haven Shores and it was wonderful. I could definitely feel God's presence in that place. It has a warm, family atmosphere much like CCP. After service they had a Fiesta because they had this summer long children's program that was titled "Fiesta". They had a slide show during the service and you could really tell that God is truly working at this church. The fiesta after service was filled with food and fun. I enjoyed getting to know some of the people there and I could definitely tell they all have a heart for God. I came back to the apt and watched the Cubs game which made me happy. Afterwards I started having the feeling again so I decided to go out for a walk, which helped a lot. I went to get dinner at Arby's...woohoo...and instead of eating in my room I ate in the lounge. It was then that a couple other residents came in and we started talking and watching the olympics. It felt good to kind of finally break that barrier. I think I'll be okay here...although I might get a Sox fan as a 4th roommate so we'll see about that. God knows what He is doing...
