This morning I went with some students over to this school down the street from Crash Corner. It is a school and kind of home for children with autism, and for our service project we are painting a mural on the walls of the kindergarten room for them. It was really fun, the design was already sketched out and we were just painting in the colors on a bunch of animals, like parrots, giraffes, elephants, panthers, crocodiles, and monkeys. They were really bright and I think it will look really cool when it is finished. There are a couple of other groups that are going to go over later this week to finish the other side of the wall and the details.
After lunch I hung out in my room, cleaning, organizing, reading, scripture studying, finishing up some site reports and other schoolwork. I went over to Hebrew U to interview someone for another assignment, and we talked to this student who is Jewish by ethnicity but doesn't believe in God. It was interesting to talk to him, and I thought how weird it was to think that someone could live here among all of these different religions and at all of these special places and not have any belief in them. It's not often that you meet people like that, most of the people here are very religious, those are the people that I really love meeting.
Tonight I am finishing up my laundry. I got down to my last pair of pants today, so I was definitely in need of some clean clothes.
