Day 2, "The day the mountains and the sky were the same color"

Today was a good but tiring day. I woke up whenever anyone in the room would get up so the first thing I remember is waking up and looking out the window seeing the gray outline of the mountains against the gray morning sky, it was amazing.
Morning then consisted of chapel, breakfast and then group meetings. My small group is pretty cool. It was a little awkward until we moved slightly off topic talking about the context we each come from (we were talking about the beatitudes and this came up sort of through talking about being blessed when we are persecuted for Jesus' sake, so we talked about how we express our faith in different parts of our lives). After that the group just started to flow.
Then there was noonday prayers followed by lunch. After lunch was work, today we put up a tent, afterwards we had tea and cookies and a Swedish kid in the group informed us all about Rhode Island Sauce (lots of people form Europe knew what it was, not one of the four Rhode Islanders did, it's a gross sounding sauce they put on burgers).
After that I had a long conversation with Patrick about ordained ministry, my call and the diocese, it was really nice.
After evening chapel we hung out at Oyak for a while, had some beer and chocolate. Everyone was still exhausted from travel and jet lag so it was an early night
