Day 165: 100 Grand
Today was the second time I went to the Bethel Ministry with SNHS. It's a small church out in Stafford, and it's wonderful. I honestly think that this is some of the most interesting work I've ever done. I like volunteering, but this kind is a special kind. The fact that I can actually see how the people I'm volunteering my time to are helped, is just amazing. We pray before we serve every week, which is wonderful. To pass the time, the people there always talk about the randomest things possible. This time, I learned that the people at Wharton County Junior College don't ice their ketchup bottles or clean them, so they get moldy. We talked about what colleges we want to go to, what we like to eat, and our main topic was our favorite halloween candy is (since Halloween just passed). I told everyone that my main disappointment on Halloween is that no one gives out 100 grand bars anymore. I think that those things are delicious, and definitely my favorite candy, but I didn't get any this year. At the end of the volunteer session, I was walking out of the building, laughing with some of the other kids. I got to my car and look on the ground and what do I see right near my feet? A perfectly intact, still-in-the-wrapper 100 grand bar! I couldn't believe it! I really was amazed, I picked it up and showed everyone. I know that everyone at the Bethel Ministry was doing work in the presence of God, and he showed himself to me tonight. There's nothing like working with some amazing people and a 100 grand to top of your day!
