Hello All,
Last night was a wonderful night! Muna, Misty, Christina, Vania, Cheryl and myself volunteered, and I think I can speak for us all when I say that it was a 'warm' night. First of all, the food was AMAZING or as S puts it Kickin'! Greg made an incredible Thai curry that was to die for, thank you so much Greg! We also had some really great fruit that reminded everyone of the summer time after so much snow and Misty also brought in some Chai tea that was very yummy!
Muna and Christina went out as our street team and passed out some fliers and ran into S fixing a heater at a motel. It looks like she's been able to pick up some work doing some maintenance at the motel, similar to what she's done in the past. She's also still working at the bar down the way, picking up shifts whenever she can. She told Muna and Christina that she would be over shortly, and she was! S has only missed one friday night in the last 5 months! She didn't come last friday because she was able to go to a friends cabin in Washington and said she had a fabulous Christmas! Her smile always lights up the room and we are so happy to have her at SC, she truly is a gem! She mentioned that she saw P around and even gave her as scarf that she got from SC. She says it makes her happy to spread goodness :-)
D also came! She stopped by between home and work and we were very happy to see her! It seems that she is enjoying her co-worker's company quite a bit and I can see that it's good for her to be able to talk with people during the week. She often talks about the struggles she has with her daughters, she doesn't feel loved by them and I pray so much for their relationship. I can see so much that it hurts her the way they speak to her and I hope that things can turn around for them soon.
All in all, it was a fantastic night! I am so thankful for all of our volunteers that give so much of themselves every Friday, thank you so much! I hope your weeks are wonderful and we'll see you next week!
Amanda
