Week 4: St. John the Baptist & St. Theresa - Wednesday

 We totally "Banked" in for today! 

     Today, some of us woke up an hour earlier (ridiculous, we know) to play some extreme games of spoons, while the more exhausted  of us slept in more until 7-ish. Along with that, we ate a fantastic breakfast, per usual. Once done, we went to mass and enjoyed a nice morning mass to start our busy day off. After that, we then split up and sent two groups out to get toys for kids, a group to cash & carry for some more food, and everyone else to load the cars with our already collected items. Victoria got in the car with her group and admired the lovely scenery. Bailey's group Rocked out to both High School Musical 1 & 2 Soundtracks all the way to target to get some toys for kids. Once that was finished, we all met up at the designated "Food Bank" place. Victoria's group arrived before Bailey's and started to unload and set up. Bailey's group arrived in just enough time to unload their own toys and set up shop. Like most when busy, no one really bothered to check their watches as we were so focused and involved on getting the party started. We opened around one, since many of the migrants had to get to work at two. Many of us had next to no skills in Spanish (which can usually end in disaster) but many of the migrants still managed to give us a smile at our attempted "Hola". The most fun I (Victoria) had was seeing the families smile and some of them taking away more than just food and us laughing at one another. Experiencing this whole event has really changed my view of how our migrant brothers and sisters live and what they go through daily. And as for me, Bailey, I can't help but love the way we are all trying to make a difference in even one families life, because if we can make a difference in one person's world, who's to tell us where to stop when we won't be stopping? So we also decided to help out in the little garden/farm that was at the place we held the food bank because why not do more work when we finished what we had already planned to do?  After this occurrence, we were gifted by our splendid Agape leaders a sweet icy treat, to which we consumed after cheering for them. All in all, one of the best times of our lives helping out our fellow earthlings of the world. Bailey & Victoria Signing out <3
