This morning at 7:00 a.m., my church youth group started our 30 hour famine fast for starving children in Africa. We basically don't eat for 30 hours and raise money to help a village in Africa. Well, anyways! A group of my friends had a sleepover last night, to make shirts and just hang out so that we could all get up early in the morning and go out to breakfast at IHOP before we couldn't eat for 30 hours. We stayed up all night making shirts so, it was a little bit hard to get up and go to breakfast at 5:30 in the morning. Although it was hard... it was totally worth it! We had so much fun talking, laughing, and eating. At 6:59 a.m. we took our last bite together and now I'm sitting here having fasted for 8 1/2 already! I only have 22 more hours to go... I am hungry but this is totally worth it!
