Agape Day 4 continued

Good morning my humble friends. It's the one and only blogger B. I'm writing yesterday's blog today because last night a couple of our lovely people here, helped make homemade chocolate chip cookies for the children we're going to play with. Yay! Everyone loves a good cookie (even if we added a bit too much sugar). And so last morning everyone got up with excitement, enthusiasm and exuberant smiles because our food bank was minutes from happening and reaching out to all those working families. It was a huge success! Not only did we serve 81 families but we made connections to all those families and all left with an unforgettable experience. Although I would love to explain to you each and every person's individual story that we all shared about our great day out there, I will sum it up. Each and everyone one of us had a smile on our faces (including the wonderful people who came out and accepted our help) for different reasons and I mean heart touching, tear making story's that I'd rather call memories. Adios amigos (:

The Prime minister (Tony Blair) says hello!

Where have you seen Jesus today?

That's the question we were asked last night. I can honestly say I saw Jesus in everyone yesterday.

Thank you for joining our Mission by taking your time to read our blog. It has been an exceptionally emotional week. I have never been more impressed with a group of young people. They have all been working so hard and putting themselves last in every way. I have not heard ANY whining - which is in itself amazing, because this mission has not been a vacation - it has been an immersion into the lives of those less fortunate. The Agape experience hasn't been exactly what we expected and in many ways has been much more, but not without many growing pains. Through it all, however, the kids have been incredibly generous with each other in ways that words cannot describe. They are sharing pieces of themselves with each other and the people we are serving and even tuning in to us leaders. I am forever grateful to God for providing this experience and placing everyone in it. 

Thank you to Agape, our parishioners and community, who donated so much to our Mission trip and its purpose. Not only did your emotional and financial support help grant our travel here, but you also gave us your resources to minister to the people we are serving. 

I hope you'll all join me in praying for our youth that this mission trip will create the permanent change in their hearts as well as to inspire and equip them that they may create the change in the world that needs to happen for every person to have their needs met and attain the dignity God intends for all of us. 

Thank you again for your support and your prayers. 

God Bless, 

Regina
