Silas: with a group from old church. theyre redcross or habitat for humanity?
Me: sweet man for how long?
Silas: Friday for a month
Me: dude i wish i could go, is there anything i can do to help?
Silas: Save money to go
Me: are there not a lot of people going?
Silas: yeah biggest need is 7 people to care enough to go
Me: (cant remember, something about the complacency of americans and the apathetic attitude some of america's churches)
Silas: Almost cant blame the people. this world made life all about number one. gotta bust tradition.
Me: (i say something in agreement)
Silas: yeah it's bad
(silas called me day before he got on plane, couldn't talk much since i was about to go into archaeology class)

Silas called. we had a good talk. turns out, cannibalism and "card games" are quite common in a haitian jail.
and i quote silas " its never too early to start haitian jail cell jokes"
so let the jokes begin...
good to have you back buddy.
