~Experience at the "Door Is Open"

On May 4th, Caitlin, Karissa, Marvin, Adam, Justin, Martyna, Tyler and I went to the "Door is Open" for service hours.
The first thing we did when we get there was actually help make the food. We chopped carrots, celery, cabbage, etc. After that was done, all the stuff we chopped up and everything was made in to tuna. That was the spread we used to make the sandwiches. That was really fun ALTHOUGH MY AWESOME HOODIE GOT DIRTY!
After that, we waited for the homeless to arrive. While waiting we got everything ready, basically the soup and the sandwiches. Justin and Adam helped hand out the socks at the front of the lineup of the homeless.
Everyone finally came, and there was a pretty long line. Marvin and I gave out the sandwiches for a while, and that was fun because you got to talk to them, and sometimes they would pick white bread or whole wheat then we would panic when there wasn't any more on the tray! =P Many people would come back for seconds, thirds, maybe even fourths... but it was great to help out, most of them seemed really nice.
After that, we had to clean up then we left that place!
I think that was a great experience. This ties in to religion because God too, did a lot of service work. It's great that everyday, we try to be more and more like him.
