Today we woke up and went on a walking food drive through different neighborhoods. It was a challenge in the neighborhoods because there weren't many people who came and answered their doors. It was sort of a disappointment when this happened, we really wanted to get as many donations as possible. But when we came to the stores to ask for donations, we were more energized to see all the donations people gave us. Some groups got as many as three full shopping carts. There was even a man who was generous enough to buy a shopping cart full of food. When we got back to the church, of course, we got to eat dinner, but it was different than normal. Everyone was given a card that had a color that corresponded with a certain table. There were three total tables, one was more of a first class table. They had a three course meal with cheesecake. The second group was more of a middle class with just one main course meal, consisting of soup and bread. The third group was more of a poverty class. They just had tortillas and rice with no seasoning. It was an interesting exercise that taught us to be grateful for what we have. And that some people in this world, aren't as fortunate as many of us are.
