Service is good for you!

Ashley and I have been so lucky to spend time together each Friday doing some sort of skill building activity, crafts, or serving others. This girl of many talents has taught me how to successfully make a loaf of 100% wheat bread, save money at the grocery store, manage a budget online, and show love to others by serving them. The past couple weeks have been full of service. We went to the food bank and scooped pasta out of a HUGE box. We were lucky enough to wear the required hair caps and gloves! Aren't we gorgeous?!



This week we went to a soup kitchen to serve lunch. It was a really neat experience. Anyone can come eat, take a shower, or do laundry for free at this place during certain hours. Many homeless people came along with some who had been out of work for a while or just couldn't afford lunch that day. Everyone was so kind and kept telling me all sorts of different, sometimes really odd, stories. I leared all about different kinds of apples from an elderly man, so if you ever want to know anything about apples, I'm your girl! Seeing these people in this position however, brought me a higher motivation to continue with school and always work hard so that I will be able to sufficiently provide for my family. If you have anyone in your family, or a close friend that needs a little push in the right direction regarding school or work, do some volunteer service at a soup kitchen. I think it will open their eyes a little bit. It was such a wonderful experience and I can't wait to do it again!Thanks Ashley for settin it up! You are wonderful!
