Thursday, the day of good byes

Today was a really great way to end a wonderful week of service. To begin, we traveled to the Tri Parish Food Bank in Burlington to deliver our left over food and clothing items from the day before. I enjoyed going to this food bank because I was there for another service project and I shared experienced there that I was able to relive. Later in the day, after mass, we went swimming at the aquatic center. I was able to bond with the people on the service project and enjoy the magnificent luxuries of the awesome aquatic center. Jesus' presence was most defiantly upon us as we sprung from the very far end of the most extravagant diving board because the joy it brought us in those brief mili-seconds brought such joy to the ones diving and watching the spectacularly comical dives and flips. The best part of the day was when we visited the migrant families at there camp and shared dinner with them. We had a lot of fun moments, for example, dodge ball, soccer, and the pinata.The hamburgers were amazingly delicious! How happy those migrant farmers children were even when they have so little brought tears of joy to my eyes. We met the cooooooooolest little boy named AJ he had a swag mo hawk that was spiked with gel and he even knew how to shuffle like really well. It really touched me, just before we left that some of the families were telling us how much they appreciated us coming out there and helping them and they even letting us know they will miss us over the winter. Then we had a very unexxpected amazing surprise of an ice cream bar when we got back to the place we were staying and had a little dance party and were singing along to the music. It was interesting to see that over four days of time that both parishes could become so close. We lost a couple of amazing people today, but over all i am thankful to be here with everyone and help those who need us. PS. Grace was thee coolest counselor ever and she is crazy cool and DA BOMB i loveeeee her :)
