Thoughts from Sarah L.

Today we served the migrant workers at the food bank. We have worked very hard to prepare for this event and all of our hard work paid off. We served 131 migrant families today. In preparation for the food bank we collected items like diapers, bread, tortillas, beans, flour, sugar, and much more. It was a great feeling to see how much we helped all of the families today. Many of the families had just come from working on the farm and their hands were stained from picking berries. We saw the face of Jesus in everyone that came to the food bank today. I especially saw Jesus in the faces of the migrant children. It was a great feeling to see them smile as they picked out their toys. Even though the families spoke in Spanish, it was not hard to communicate with each other. You can easily communicate just by looking each other in the eye and smiling. Serving the migrant families today has been my favorite part so far. I look forward to the rest of the trip.
