Next we march to O'Farrell St. & Jones St. we post up in the middle of the block, there was some crack smoking but it stop as soon as they seen us, but what caught our attention was a homeless female going through her things, she then pulled out an orange to offer it to an angel, this had touch us in some way that we had never seen before. We could not except it, we just had to stay focus on the people that were yelling at us and calling us all kinds of names until it had calmed down, it is now All Clear.







Next we marched to the 631 The Hamilton building, we post up, by doing this a community leader for the building & neighborhood stopped to talk to us to invited the angels for a community meeting on Friday, we agreed and we will be looking forward for this meeting.
