So today our morning was spent with Sister Luz..she is a wonderful Filipino woman that has devoted her life to ministering to the Latino community in LA. She receives donation of food and clothing and pretty much anything...from nobody knows where...and as volunteer we sort through all of these donations. The food that she gets is mostly expired so we pick through it to get the good food out and through away the old moldy stuff. The chosen food of today was grapes and i dont think i have seen more fuzzy moldy grapes in my life...it was nasty!!!..but we do all as service to the Lord without complaining..i can just complain now. So after sorting food to take with us we went to the park to put on an afternoon church service. As a group we sang some song and then I and 2 others shared our testimonies. After sharing a really cute little old latino lady came up to me and said in her broken English "Thank you so much...Jesus love me too" It was so sweet and a great reminder of the diversity of the body of Christ.
The afternoon was pretty low key..just doing training around the housing site and then we went out for mexican food tonight and then went and had a special dessert treat. We went to a pretty well know place in LA that is right next to UCLA..so its in a really nice area. At this place for $1.50 they make you an ice cream sandwich..you pick whatever two cookies you want and whatever ice cream you want for the middle and enjoy! It was wonderful!
The night ended with some major girl bonding...we are trying to do the 100 push-ups and 200 sit-ups workout routine. So all six of us were crammed in our room down push-ups together tonight...we were laughing like crazy and sharing about our lives...real good quality girl time...i love it here and i am loving my staff more and more each day. We are all very diverse coming from very different backgrounds but are coming together beautifully!
Hello Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun reading your last few posts. I've been to that exact cookie place around the UCLA area!!! And I am doing hundredpushups.com...I just finished week six!!! Love you and praying for you!!
I like that you are doing the workout stuff because I want you to look great when you get back. You know like you did when I last saw you. But no matter what you look like I'll still feel the same about you.
