Day 5: Kids Meals & William Booth Garden Apartments

Rain, rain and more rain!

Today we went to Kids Meals which is the only meals on wheels program for children in the country. We first packed sack lunches with pre-made sandwiches, juice and a snack. They feed about 1200 children each day. After packing lunches, a few of the youth went along the delivery route while the rest of us helped to make sandwiches.....we made sandwiches until we ran out of meat....1039 sandwiches....apparantly that's a record for the other CSM groups who have been there during the month of July......woohoo for that!

After lunch, we went to the William Booth Garden Apartments where we played bingo with the residents who live in this assistant living community. The youth took turns spinning the bingo number wheel and calling out the numbers.

We ate Guatamalan food for dinner and everyone really liked it since most everyone likes Mexican food and there were some similarities. Even Briana ate all of her dinner tonight!

During our debriefing of the day, each of us wrote out our answers to the scenario: "If someone comes up to you at church this Sunday to ask you about your week, what will you tell them?" So...church family, make sure to ask the trip members this question and don't let them just say it was great......they have some incredible answers to share with you!

We have to be out of the building at 6:30 AM tomorrow morning (Friday).....to serve breakfast, so we are relieved to be back at our housing a little earlier this evening.
