Today at Agape we went blueberry picking. Then we made earnings off of what normal migrant workers would get paid. The group seemed to really understand how hard it is to earn a living for the migrant workers and their families. After we got paid, the group was split up into groups that were called our "families". It is surprising to see what you can get for a few dollars. There were three people in my family and we had only $4.50 to spend for our dinner. Yet we got pasta, sauce, and a dink. Later, we all went to see migrant camps to play with the kids. All of the kids were so happy and joyful when we hung out with them. Even though they don't have a lot, the kids see joy in everything. I never knew what these people had to deal with until now. It is a gift for all of us to be round them and to understand, and the gift that they are to us.
