Volenteering at the soup kitchen

Last night I went to one of the churches down town and helped out at a soup kitchen. It was an awsome experence. Never in my life have I seen soooo many homeless people and I have also never seen people so greatful. After we served the people their meal, we went and talked to them. I talked to an old man named George. He had lots of stories. He told meabout his pin collection and train tracks, his uncle who was a famous piano tuner "back in the day" ect. It was great. Then I went on street ministry. I went downtown to do this in Newfoudland a few times. But the conditions here were completly diffrent and much worse. We gave homeless peoplehot chocolate and then we went in the allies and such. We didn't see verry many people there, but we saw some of the peoples "homes". It was crazy the conditions were so bad, it blew me away.
I am so glad I went to go help out though, and I can't wait to do it again in two weeks!
