What a weekend!! We got to serve at the center on Saturday and on Monday!! We ended up serving a total of about 95 people when you combine the two days. Fortunately, many came to both days making it easier for me to build the relationships I have with several people.
We also had two totally different groups from our church serving on the two days. So many people are being used by God and the word is spreading. God is touching our volunteers, it is so cool.
I was pretty much wiped out after our Monday. Again, I came back with absolutely no food, just empty containers and coolers. Even though I was wiped out, I was thinking ahead to the delivery day we have this week and the next time we serve in December. That is a good sign, to be tired, but ready for the next round.
A lot happened on Monday, look for another post or two that will address a specific story in some depth.
The guy I mentioned on the previous post returned and I was able to give him the book. This guy is a very intelligent person and we had some good conversations. We are now friends on Facebook and fellow bloggers. He writes poetry and I really need to check it out.
My shopping buddy was also there and he remembered my name. This has been an on going joke and he was very proud of himself when he got the name right. He is a very nice kid.
We also had two teenagers there. A very sad story, please pray for this family.
It looks like a Bible study will be starting very soon. Somewhere around 11 homeless friends are looking forward to getting into the Bible as a group. That is so cool.
Well, that is all for now. Remember, I am tired, so I need to get some rest.
