Today was an awesome day! We started the day doing chapel for the Bishop's Camp. We did a skit of the Good Samaritian (we have done a different skit everyday).
After chapel the kids spent the morning reading with the Bishop's Camp. The youth really enjoyed spending time with kids.
After lunch we spent the afternoon as the North Texas Food Bank. We worked for an hour and 45 minutes on the warehouse floor. We made 216 boxes of food (6 pallets of food). That is 6882 pounds of food or 5371 meals. We learned that Texas is the number one state for children who are hungry and number 2 hungerest state in the union. Which means more people go hungry in Texas than anywhere else in the United States.
After the food pantry, the kids did STONE SOUP for dinner. They were given $8.00 (a dollar a person) and taken to Fiesta where they had to shop for dinner for all 12 of us plus a guest. It took them an hour and a half to figure out what to cook. Then an hour to cook, and almost no time to eat it! They ended up making 8 boxes of Mac and Cheese with chicken hot dogs and spinage. It was an interesting meal.
