When We're Helping We're Happy!

Having 19 kids under the age of ten get together for service is always an adventure! We met at our house! Supervised by the 12 adults this great group of kiddos assembled over 60 sack lunches for the homeless. I wish I had taken a picture of the whole group but believe it or not it was slightly hectic. My parents took on one of the most important jobs, while some assembled sandwiches, filled the bags with chips, drinks, apples, and cookies! I found a bag with nothing in it but apples, a few were missing cookies or sandwiches. For the most part they had done an awesome job! :)

We then loaded up in our cars to deliver our meals. After much driving and passing out few meals we decided to go to the Las Vegas library. People are always hanging out and they show free movies in the courtyard.

Carter was SO excited he would see people and ask, "Are you hungry!?" He had to be the one to pass them out! He came back to the car a very excited saying, "Mom we need to go get more! there are still more hungry people!" I told him that was all we had and he was pretty persistent that we needed to feed EVERYONE that was hungry! I tried to explain that we do what we can but we can't help everyone! He thought that over and said, "Well, who is going to build them houses? They were sleeping outside or in boxes!"

A huge thanks to all our friends who helped by coming and bringing supplies! I think it was a great activity and it left an impact on Carter! I hope that we can always teach our children how very blessed we are and the importance of helping those around us!
