Day 15-
Since I have now finished week 2, I thought I'd give an update on how I'm feeling. I'm super tired, I need more sleep. This morning when I picked up Rachel and Leah to go to the bathroom and do my usual morning routine, they felt heavier than they did yesterday. My shoulders are the most sore part of my body. Now, I'm starting to understand people's doubts as to me doing this for 40 days...
Oh, but here's a cool story. Tuesday night, after visiting my grandmother in the nursing home, I went to Domino's to pick up some pizzas for dinner. Yes, the "pizzas", meaning more than one, meaning plural pizzas. And yes, they were both for me. But here's the cool part. While I was waiting, a young man who was also waiting for his order, asked me what was up with the jugs. So I shared with him the need for clean water, the women carrying the water over long distances, and about Living Water International. Then he asked, "so what can I do". He gave me $5 to help build the well, and he did it without blinking an eye. That was so awesome. He's a sophomore at Central North Carolina, where he plays football. I should have taken a picture. I should have also taken a picture of me trying to get back to my car carrying the jerry cans and two medium pizzas. I made it, but one of my pizzas was a hot mess when I got home.
