Week Two - Sunday

     Today during our food drive in order to receive donations for the Food Bank on Wednesday; we went to Albertson's and experienced different personalities and acceptance towards the migrant workers. We had gotten discouraged at first but then picked right back up on being positive and as soon as we started being more positive and optimistic we had gotten more donations. Our first donation came from an interesting man who wanted to challenge our intelligence. He started asking us a math question for 5 dollars and was willing to give us 5 more if we could tell him more about what's on the dollar bill. He told us that the eye on the top of the pyramid is God who has seen and approved all that we have made. We figured out that the pyramid is left unfinished because we still have work to do on this earth; we are able to grow and build everyday.
      Once we had gotten home and unloaded the food in to the church to save for Wednesday's Food Bank, we had gone through a Food Bank simulation and established who our families were and how many people were in our family. We discovered how challenging it was to make a group decision on food; not only on food but how we couldn't make a decision because each person was trying to be selfless and it made it frustrating to decide whether or not we should get something to eat. We had troubles deciding if it was right for everyone. Another problem was that we didn't really understand what they were telling us as we went through the food bank line. This made us realize that it is pretty hard to get what you want and need from the food bank when you don't understand the language; which is pretty common with the workers.
    We are looking forward to tomorrow and what it has in store for us!
