My sister and i went to volunteer at Habitat For Humanity today. We worked at the ReStore part of their organization. We packaged donated items, so the were ready to sell. It was such a fun experience, the manager was impressed with how fast we were cruising the whole time, and ran out of things for us to do before our shift ended so we ended up helping to get the paper labels prepared for the next time they had stuff to get packaged. He said that we had packed up hundreds of dollars worth of items, and that it helped so much. By the end of the day our hands were torn up and dirty and we were so tired at the end of our shirt, but man it felt so good to be doing something with our hands that helped other people. It felt good to have purpose and to get out of our mindsets of us, and focus even for just four hours on helping other people. This definitely got me excited for my future service projects, this is going to be an awesome journey!
