Just to add something...

Over on your right click on Kat and read her blog first.
Now, she left a few things out from the trip. Most of you know Zach Garza, if not you are missing out; huge guy, funny, afro, tall, stumbles over his words, large you get the point. He went on our campaign with us. We figured out very quickly that he would say the most inappropriate things at the worst times. We started calling them Zach Attacks. Here are just a few from the week.
Zach Attack #1
As Kat said the church was African American (keep that in mind), they were feeding us our last meal before we left them. It was a very nice gesture. If I remember correctly it was spaghetti. We were going through the line buffet style and Garza had already gotten his food and sat down, typical. While sitting he noticed he forgot to grab the eating utensils. In his defense, plastic wear is usually white and they had black plastic wear. (This is when you remember the statement above) Garza looked back and yelled, he yelled, "Can someone throw me some black wear?" It got completely silent, just imagine.
Zach Attack #2
Upon arriving at the church that so graciously took us in with so little warning they took Kat and me to the grocery store and they bought us tons of food for the entire week. They allowed us to stay at their church and fed us that night in their dining hall. Again in his defense, it was an old warehouse. I think I have mentioned how great they were with much hospitality and giving of all they had. Some people do not know exactly how to say thanks in these situations, Garza is one of them, bless his heart. He looks over to the lady and again yells, yes yells, "Thanks for letting us eat in your garage." What? Again, wow Garza just be quiet.
Zach Attack #3
An awesome family that lived across the street from Gillette stadium, this to say the house was gigantic, allowed all 17 of us to stay at their house. We were following the man down the hall as he showed us around, close behind him was Garza. I see Garza looking over at a picture on the wall of three girls, crap what is he about to do. Immediately he asks the guy if those are his daughters, the man replied, "yes" and Garza says, "WOW, they are hot." We all just bust out laughing.
There is absolutely nothing you can do about these Zach Attacks, they come when you least expect them and you sure as heck cannot stop them. I love Garza. Those are just a few of my favorites. Kat, great story.
