I haven't written in a while...to be honest there hasn't been to much happening lately that is blog worthy. I didn't think people were interested in our stomach flu...which has been the last week or so.
But we are healthy again and looking forward to this holiday season. To start the season off right, with giving in mind we went to volunteer with Isaac.
This Saturday we went to Feed my starving Children with Isaac. This was our first time there, but have heard so much about it from other friends. It was an amazing place that makes meals to distribute in other countries. Our meals were headed to parts of Mexico. While there our group made over 16,000 meals that will feed 46 people for an entire year. We also learned that one meal only costs us here in the states $.22 to make. Isaac was a little nervous at first, but after we got started he did FANTASTIC!!! He scooped up the food into the bags and weighed the bags look for the magic number 400!!
Seth and I were very proud of him. He said he had fun and wants to go back. He understands what he was doing and where the meals are going. It was a huge shock to him to see some of the pictures of the children, and he is just trying to wrap his head around this concept of some kids not having a Cub to go too.
We will be going back, it is a great way to explain to kids hands on about our world hunger problem.
