Special Olympics Bowling!!!!

Okay, so yesterday we went to help with the Special Olympics Bowling. And i'm not gonna lie I was really REALLY scared at first because working with mentally handicapped people is so far out of my comfort zone and I was freaking out up until I met my people and they were so cute and nice. I had 4 girls. Carol Stansil, Helen Davis, Sheri Townsend, and Sherry Manthy. They were all business. They came to win! Helen would always ask me what place she's in and she was usually in first or second and when I told her that she'd always say something like "I'm knocking the socks off everyone else!" It was funny. I also got to talk to some of the people who were in other lanes around me and they all just thought it was so cool how we were from Oba and how we came out to help. Whenever they would get a strike or a spare it was funny how they would yell and dance. Two of the girls in my lane were kind of shy but it was really cool to see how excited they got when people cheered for them even if they got a gutter ball. Sheri Townsend's outfit must have been brand new or something because like every five minutes she was showing it off to someone and she wouldn't bowl unless everyone in her lane was watching. She would just stand there with her ball and point at anyone who wasn't looking until they looked at her. Well, it was really fun to get to go and help yesterday and meet everyone. They are so thankful and joyful all the time no matter what. And they all love kids everyone I made eye contact with wanted to know my name and would ask me random questions like where I ate for lunch that day. So yeah, I went in there afraid but I came through and had a great time. It would be fun to do stuff like that more often.
