Thanksgiving Serve Week

This week is Thanksgiving serve project at Doulos. The Littles are not in school and we are out in the community, as a community, serving.

Today my team put together baskets of food and delivered them to needy families in the area. Tomorrow we will rake peoples yards and Friday we will tear down an old house to get the area ready for a new Habitat for Humanity Home.

I have to admit that going into this week my attitude was not the best. We will spend alot more time with Littles then normal this week and wont have our regular free time in the afternoons. I didnt like that idea. But today, I had one of the best days I have had since I arrived at Doulos. It was an amazing feeling to be able to minister to people in the community and come together as a group. One of the drops we did I delivered with two boy Littles while everyone else waited in the van (we went a couple at a time so we wouldnt overwhelm people). That drop ended up being so much fun because we got lost in the building, knocked on the wrong door and overall had a really hard time, but it was so funny. It was a great opportunity to spend some time with the guys, as that doesnt really happen very often. It was a great day.

Tomorrow we are off to rake, and I hear from the team that did it today, it was quite the challenge! But I am up to it and cant wait to see what kind of fun and meaningful experiences we have a team tomorrow while we serve the Lord. Exciting stuff!
