Week 3: St. Catherine's- Wednesday

  Today was food bank day! It was really fun. We woke up and had breakfast, and then our after-breakfast activity was loading up food in the van for the food bank. One group got to go to the store and bought produce with the donation money we got on Monday. After loading the van and buying the produce we went to the place where we set up the food bank, and set up the tables and unloaded the food and clothes. In the middle of unloading another group from St. Louise came and helped us set up. There were some pretty weird clothes donations. The strangest were probably half a cut-off pant leg and a box to hold kidney stones. After we set everything up, we had lunch. Then the people started coming. We had to remind ourselves what to say to the people who could only speak Spanish. We learned many new words,mostly relating to food. We still made a few pronunciation mistakes. Once when I was trying to say "you can have two", I think I said something else, because the person I was talking to started laughing. After most of the people had gone through the food line, we started packing up. This was easier because so many people were helping us. After packing everything up, we went back to Sacred Heart for dinner. It was tacos! It was also the first meal we didn't have to prepare ourselves for the food bank simulations. That might have added to the tastiness. Then we did evening prayer. After that we went to bed and ended food bank day.
