Hello Families,
Today was a very busy day! In preparation for the Food/Clothing/Toy Drive that day, we loaded AND unloaded all of our donations in and out of a truck. Our morning started out with a big breakfast and a lot of yawns. Then to the church basement to get all of the donations. A short 30 minutes later and we had arrived at our destination, a small park to set up our mission work. After some unloading of tons, and TONS of donations in the hot weather, we finally began to organize and repackage the donations. Our once piles of boxes were slowly beginning to look like something cool! From falling into a trashcan (Fran), doing people's hair (also Fran, Lilly, Tully and Alejandra), and dropping a bucket of cans on our feet (again, Tully) you can understand why we were wiped out from all our adventures. In between serving people at the main bank, we also managed to run up and down skate ramps. Aside from all of our craziness, we were able to get some actual service in (we know, big surprise). We loved interacting with the migrant families, seeing their smiles and hearing their laughs was so rewarding! Who knew getting a simple "Gracias" would be so meaningful?
Sincerely,
Fabulous Fran,
Terrific Tully,
Sensational Sofia,
Ecstatic Elena,
and Interesting Isabella (Brilliant Bubba)
