So as of late things haven't gotten any "slower". I'm just starting to realize how to manage it all. It's sort of like having a full time job, being in school, volunteering part time and living with 70 other people each day. Well it's actually exactly like that.
Last week on Tuesday we had our Feeding The Hungry outreach partnered with our Ulupono outreach (children's outreach). We also were getting taped during this whole adventure to be shown on the Sony Open Golf Tour. Friends of Hawaii Charities and Sony had given us a grant to further our Ulupono outreach and to my understanding this was part of giving us some credit. It was such a crazy day. As SLS we usually wouldn't do FTH but we were stoked to step up and I mean come on.. it was the day the TV was there :) ha! But honestly it was epic, I loved it (just like being an intern).
John and Janelle and I loaded the car up and went over to John's apartment near by and blessed the families over in his neighborhood. It was super hard seeing the families over there and the hurt in that apartment. So hard to hear the words said and the families being torn in front of your eyes but I was happy to be a blessing with food in a place that was oh no not great.
This is the little girl that helped me the whole day. She was so epic. At the end of the day she comes over to me and goes "Julie I'm sorry I couldn't help you at the end of the day, I had to go to tutoring." What a gem!
All in all a good time with Feeding The Hungry and having time to love on the Ulupono kids.
