Our week in Moncton
Our week in Moncton was great! Chris Vanbuskirk, the minister of the church we went to, was the first Minister who stayed to help during the vacation bible club as well as he actually got down on the floor and played with the kids! It was great! On top of that he said he would be surpirsed if we got more then 5 kids, and we ended up with I think around 20 kids! so that was a fun surprise!
Each afternoon was filled with different activities! each day we would go to a prak and do outreach there with the kids by playing games and by singing songs and having free snack and drink as well as doing a puppet show with them, (Ahh, that was always fun and intresting)
As well we also visted three sedniors homes while we were in Moncton! They were great! One of the ones we went to I was really touched by! My heart just went out to everyone there! As soon as you open the door there is just such a big feeling of welcome and love! To see the workers come along side the patiants and wipe away their tears and to see there love and compasion for the resadences was truly amazing! I was so touched!
FInally we also went and helped out at a soup kitchen! I never in a million yeqars thought I would even go inside a soup kitchen let alone eat there or help there! But I did!@ we ate there twice and on wendsday we went and helped serve lunch was was such a humbuling experiance and I loved it and would go to help out again in a heart beat! we also helped out at a mobile soup bus! we went and made close to three hundred samwitches for the night! It was such an amazing experiance! (Many hands make light works)!
