Christ the King Day 2

Today we went to different neighborhoods with our small groups. We knocked on peoples doors and asked for food donations. We also collected some donations that people already had set out for us. Although some people turned us down we still kept going and had fun! We were so surprised and happy about the amount of food we had collect in than short period of time we had. At noon we split up into small groups and went to local grocery stores to collect food donations that people bought for the Food banks and for the migrant workers. We handed out flyers to inform than about what we needed and how they could help. Some people donated a few cans while others donated full grocery bags of donations. Dinner was the most interesting experiences of the day. We were divided into 3 different classes: Pink=Third World Country, Yellow=Second World Country, Blue=First World Country. Being in the third world country, we realized how much we took for granted. We ate on a tarp without silverware and ate only white rice and old tasting corn tortillas.We had a limited supply of water which quickly ran out. We watched as the yellow group filled up on chicken noodle soup with bread while sitting at a table with silverware. We all watched as the blue group feast on salad, spaghetti, then cheesecake. While ringing the bell for service in between their 3 courses. We learned a lot about the third world countries don't have much and how we could help. We are enjoying Agape very much and we look forward to each coming day.
