Weekend update

Well, this is a week late, but here goes.

The weekend of Feb 4-6, I visited Emmaus Ministries in Chicago. Here's the short story of the weekend:
On Friday, I had a couple interviews. I'm applying for a job there: they have a program called the Kaio community. I'd be living and working there for a year. They work with male prostitutes. If you want more details about them, you can check out their website. Friday night, we went out to just experience what life is like there. My partner and I went to a couple of gay bars, since we were the only ones there for the weekend that were over 21. She talked with a guy named Tony most of the night, and I played pool with Tu. It was an interesting night. Saturday, we got a tour of Uptown, the neighborhood that Emmaus is based. That night for dinner, we ate in the ministry center with the guys. The ministry center is where male prostitutes can come and get a shower or do laundry. They have a meal there for dinner, then a Bible study. We joined them for dinner. That night, Ben, on of the guys currently in the Kaio community, shared the story of his time there.
On Sunday, I went to church with Andi and Al, two of the other staff members. They're both really neat. Then I took the train home.

It was a really awesome weekend. Right now, I'm waiting to hear back from them.
