Sun at 5:55pmhis was an amazing expeience for my entire family! We had NEVER been invoved in anything like this before! We went not knowing what to expect at all, with lots of mixed emotions! We pulled up and everyone was unloading trucks, trunks of cars etc! They were sitting up tables and spreading out tarps on the ground. Clothes and other items all went to the tarps and were spread out in best of order as possible. Tables were set up and food was being placed on the tables. Hotdogs were being prepared also. Think about if a bunch of strange people pulled up in your neighborhod that noone else knew and had no idea what they were doing there! I would be alittle scared I think. They started coming closer and we greeted them and said we have plenty of food, clothes etc. Grab a bag and take what you need. Its all for you to take! It was amazing the see the faces and the comments... really, are you sure? One guy kept telling me God is gonna bless yall one day, he really is! Kids were being carried around and played with while parents were "Searching" through to find things they could use or need. Children were talking with other children and trying to help them find things also. My youngest Kensley was in awe. She said WOW mom they should do stuff like this in our neighborhood. I just smiled deep inside cause she had no idea really what she was really doing(like I said this was her first time) I gave her some bags and told her to give the people bags so they would not have to carry their stuff. She came back later and said I sold 2 of my bag..lol I said SOLD?? she said I mean gave.... I was like Whewwwwww!(Kids) She later came to me with an old green John deere ball cap and said I found what I want. I said you do not get to keep that. We are hear to give this to people who needs this stuff. She said but I need it. I said you have plenty of hats at home that you never even wear, these little children do not have not even one hat! I told her to go find a little boy that needed it and give it to him. I later saw a small child run through with a bag full of food and some clothes etc... with that old green John deere ball cap on...... He was wearing it with great pride too! lol I just smiled and said now that is just amazing!! If you have never been on one of this mission trips, I know they are really to help others, but they help the ones doing it and giving way more I think. I left there with great pride that God had sent me to anwer prayers in that neighboorhood today!
