yesterday and today

i was worn out and a smidge grumpy last night so i didn't post about my day so i'm doubling up today!

wednesday was a short work day.  that morning, i put together more sewing kits.  i really enjoyed this more than i thought i would.  after lunch, we headed off to an adventure!  our group went to avery island to the tabasco bottling company.  i bought spicy mayonaise that i can't wait to try on a turkey sandwich.  from there we attempted to find a movie theatre to go see blindside (which was fantastic!!) and to find somewhere to eat.  needless to say, the GPS lead us astray and we ended up in lafayette, la.  all i need to say is that i was glad i wasn't driving!

this morning, i worked again at the depot putting together sewing kits.  i think we almost finished two pallets this week!  then after lunch, i headed to chez hope - the women's shelter.  we worked again in the clothes closet but this time, we made a serious dent in all the donations.  it looked much better after we finished.  that place touched my heart this week.  they do offer hope in so many ways to people who really need it. 

i'm still trying to figure out why the Lord wanted me to come on this trip.  i feel a little more at peace with myself and God though. 

one of my favorite moments of today comes from mrs. jewell.  she is hard of hearing and during the singing at the service this evening, she was singing as only she can.  her husband told her she was singing too loud.  so she sang louder!  i couldn't help the giggling after that!
