Well, here we are, i'm blogging for the second week in a row. I think I'm about to set a record, for myself and for StreetLight. What a week its been. We enjoyed some soup... again :P That being said it was absolutely delicious. Its been a great week overall, as a team I felt we had some real breakthroughs in our conversations with the kids that came by, we touched on everything from the Illuminati (love all the conspiracy theories that run through the trailer) to work issues to the meaning and representation of the cross. These kids are hurt so deeply, physically and emotionally but it hasn't curbed their enthusiasm when it comes to asking the hard questions and bringing up the tough subjects. Its been a wild week to put it lightly. It seems we have worked most of the kinks out of the trailer over the past few weeks since getting it back from secondary repairs after the accident. On the list was a furnace that didn't work, a fridge that didn't cool and a broken bench. The bench and the fridge are on next weeks list, however being the genius I am I felt I might have the perfect fix for the furnace. One precisely placed punch to wall beside the thermostat controls and it purred to life like a finely tuned Cummins. Battle #1 goes to the farm boy.
On a prayer note I had the opportunity to take on of our guys to church with me this week and when we left he was asking good, tough questions, but the most beautiful thing happened. He asked if he could come back again next week. Please pray for him and the SL as the continue to interact with him and love him. My dream would be that God would come in and completely wreck him, opening his eyes to the all consuming love of our Savior!
Until next time,
Talon

Hi =). My name is Roseline, and I was wondering, is there any way I can volunteer at Streetlight? I'm 17, and I think it's absolutely heartbreaking that kids my age have to go through the shit that they're going through, and I would just like to help out, and provide some brightness in the darkness they're going through. Thanks!
