Okay Ghandi!

Hello there! My name is Elise and volunteering at the St. Francis Inn is fascinating! This morning, Nate, Joe, and I went to pick-up food. It was pretty awesome! The places we visited had the carts full of food all ready to go. I think it's so amazing how generous those stores are to donate food to the inn. If every single store did that, I doubt there would be a single hungry person on the street.

Before dinner, we all were helping organize toiletries and laughing as usual. There is never a dull moment with this group! We laugh all the time! Liz made everyone laugh today. Andy and Liz got into a toothpaste throwing fight and Julianne told Liz to clam down and Liz responded with, "The person who always retaliates gets in trouble!". Julianne said, "You have to turn the other cheek!". Liz said, "Okay Ghandi!"> Everyone laughed so hard, because God said that! Silly Liz!

Serving dinner was so much fun tonight! I really enjoyed serving the guests. I jumped into a few conversations with some guests and they were making me laugh so hard! I also loved seeing the guests share their food. That just amazes me that we help them and then they, in turn, help others as well. I love it!

Mass was held after dinner and Andy, Jess, Amy, Sonia, Liz, and I sang tonight and it was so much fun! I couldn't stop smiling! The chapel is so calming and relaxing and is such a great place to be. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week! Later gaters! (:
