The Lost Soldier The Ultimate Price To Pay

iam at the quality Inn northtown 9852 university avenue n.w. Coon Rapids Minnesota the Lutheran pastor from Christ the King Lutheran Church 1900 7t street northwest put me in for the night and gave me enough money to ride its been blistering cold the last couple days as i head towards Fargo North Dakota its been really difficult getting support from churchs iam not far from Minneapolis or St. Paul so that gives the churchs that dont want to help anyone an easy way out i didnt spend any time in Minneapolis but i have enough money now to survive a couple days and i think i will go back and talk to the people at the Rescue Missions and Salvation Armys and find out the politics involed to stay at night kind of courious to find out how many nights one can continue to stay consecutively getting told to leave early in the morning panhandling money for drugs and then return at night being fed allowed to sleep and leave again in the morning before it turns into either a halfway house or drug-rehabilation center there is also some type of shelter which is ran by a lady who at one point was a catholic nunn but wanted to get married so left the convent and now works with homeless people Catholic Nuns they have been very kind to me and are very compassionate what i want to see is has she hardened if i ask her for food will she feed me or will she say they feed down the street at 5 p.m. and what about if i need clothes washed i couldnt do anything at the Dorothy Day Shelter other then eat i got there a little bit late and they said owe well to sad but that is also ran like a halfway house nothing like the catholic workers houses or traveling shelters
