Good Friday (The Master’s College) Friday~~Tour Day. This morning we left at 6am (that’s in the morning. Our lifestyle doesn’t mess around with 6am very often!) to go on what turned out to be the best tour we’ve ever been on. We traveled for a little over an hour to go to place that passes out food to people who then distribute it to the needy.
