Today is the second day of the Agape Program. Since everyone was jet-lagged we slept until eight-thirty. We then took the next hour to pack up our stuff and get ready for the day. At nine-thirty we had a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and fruit. Since we will be staying in a parish center for the majority of the trip, this will be one of the only hot breakfasts that we will be having. Before mass we all turned off our phones and put them in a clear plastic box. The box was then sealed with seven pieces of masking tape and everyone signed their name on a piece of tape. We went to mass at noon and had a lovely conversation with the pastor afterwards. He was delighted to know that the group was going up to help migrant farm workers. We ate lunch and loaded a van and a bus with our personal belongings and all the donations Tanya had received. We then drove one hour and fifty minutes to the Bellingham church. We ate dinner and met the other group consisting of two girls and three boys. We then talked about the schedule, and what we are expecting for the overall experience.
