Chaplain Highlights (2-20-09)
I volunteered my time last night as a chaplain for the Mesa Police Department. Here were some highlights:
- –Investigated two different (but nearly identical) instances of mothers leaving their three children in the car while they went in and shopped at Wal-Mart. Apparently, this is a growing crime problem in Mesa.
- –Made my first trip inside the Mesa jail and got cursed out in Spanish.
- –Ate dinner at a Barcelona/Italy family diner on the SW corner of Lindsay and Main. 5 words: all-you-can-eat-meat
- –Screamed through about half of Mesa doing Code-3 (lights and sirens)
- –And spent at least 30 minutes listening to a lady from Vietnam tell me all about her life. I determined that I could only understand one fifth of what she was saying. I did a lot of smiling and nodding. And she did a lot of ceaseless talking. She apparently really likes John McCain.

Sounds like a crazy night. I will teach you some spanish words to yell back. I promise they will be nice words.
Just because it’s all you can eat meat doesn’t mean you should. Surprised it didn’t wreck your stomach. I want to hear how you got involved in Chaplincy by the way next time I talk to you.

So, I took 4 semesters of Spanish in college. One day, our professor locked the door and taught us the “cute” bad words and the horrible bad words. It was very interesting. Sorry, I didn’t take any notes to share.
Sounds like you had fun!
I know ‘em all bro. Hit me up if you want to hear them. I’ll be glad to tell you
