This morning right after morning prater, Br. Joseph and I went to mass at Sacred Heart. That is where the beautiful statue of Saint Theres of Lisieux from. Before I say this next thing I want to make it clear that I know Jesus loves everyone and the effort put forth in praising Jesus' name in song, but the choir who sang and played for mass...not so great. That is all i am going to say about that...God loves them, and so do I.
Afterwards we came back to the San Damiano Friary and Joseph and I talked some more. He first told me his discernment story which was pretty awesome...sorry can't talk about it here :) We then talked about the vows of living religious life. Now in my first blog about this trip I talked about them in short. Poverty(I'm poor), Chastity(I'm celibate), and Obedience(I'm obedient). He went into detail about the three and I was pretty much blown away by the depth those three words have. There have been books written about each of them in detail, so I will refrain from too much.
I did have a lot of free time today and took an amazing walk down the trail leading to confluence park, and this time I did take some cool pictures, I hope they are viewable...because one of them is panorama.
I did go into REI and was successful in exchanging my Keen's for a pair that were new and a half size larger so that hopefully they won't break again. 
While I was there I did help a couple save a lot of money. They were looking at purchasing a slack line, and I told them that I had made my own and saved over 50% of what REI was asking...and they were asking $179 I KNOW RIGHT?! So that was cool. Afterwards I was walking around and decided I wanted to have a beer, but on the way I stopped at a small gear exchange store, where you can buy/sell/trade camping and climbing gear. I bought a carabiner and belay device because Tucker and I are going climbing and camping next weekend and my gear of the same name were very old and I didn't trust them as much anymore. Anyway while I was there I ran into the same couple that I did at REI and talked to the guy, his name is Josh, for a while and climbing and camping and what not. That was cool, but anyway when I went to pay for my gear I handed her my credit card and when she asked me for my drivers licence, I couldn't find it and assumed it was in the pants that I wore to the airport...it wasn't. Luckily, United will allow me to get through security by using my credit card and social security card (I called them.) So thats my day so far... I will either edit this post with more or add another if I think there will be a lot of info to discuss :)One Love, One God, One Way!
