Week 4 St John the Baptist - Thursday

Blogger #1: I am only human. God made me to be incomplete without His love, but he also made me in  ways that let me spread the same kind of love that he infinitely gives, Agape. I never had a great childhood, so to give these kids a chance at something I lacked was so emotional. Leaving these kids made my heartache and everyone in our group would agree that these kids left a mark in our hearts that will last forever, even if we forget their faces, but we also left something with them that I hope they never forget. Happiness and joy in days that are tough for kids that are so young to have to experience. I hope that we were able to relieve their troubles for the few hours we got to know them. Love, 

St. John the Baptist family

Blogger #2: "Blessed are they who mourn for they will be comforted". If this is true, then I need a lot of comforting right about now. This week has been long, awkward, difficult, fun, and most of all, memorable. I am without a doubt mourning the end of this week and the fact that we are leaving our dear friends we have made, but we will be comforted. Through the thought that we have made in impact in not only the kids we played with, but in the people we served through the food bank and in other ways. The thought that we have given people hope in some way, shape or form. I am grateful for this week at Agape. The staff, my peers, and the people we served. Thank you for this wonderful week of serving not only the people of this community, but God up above. It will be difficult to leave, but at least we know that we have made an everlasting impact on many people.

Thank you,
