CoolJournalMe: Distributing Goods

We waited and wake up @ 6:30 am and did our sacrament meeting , we started partaking the sacrament by biscuits and mineral water using a big cup , we just sip it and ended the sacrament meeting we then went to the city hall , walk from Mission home to city hall for approximately one hour . Then we waited there for instructions and we saw some people arguing because they were asking when to give the goods , You can definitely feel that they are hungry already. 12:00 nn we were ask to serve by distributing goods since we can be recognize because we wore yellow vest .The Elders were ask to fall in line there were hundreds of people taking a line to each of these Elders . Afterwards the sister's were ask to do the same . We give the goods after the instruction was given . I have learned even in the look in their eyes on what have they been through , as they receive those goods you can hear some of them saying "thank you" or "sister/elder can i have the rice instead " . Some of them have really serious wounds , The soldiers were there too . It's hot, and we were sweating but after all of those experiences for that day it was fulfilling seeing them smile .
We know as missionaries we might not help them ease their burden but by this little service we had made a difference that there is "HOPE" . We met President Noynoy Aquino (Philippines President) after that service and Mrs. Jinky Soliman (Secretary of DSWD) who were with us and gave instruction on how we could help. We seem to see ourselves like in an action movie or a rescuer haha! . After that we packed rice for the Casualties . We then received 4 boxes of water from an Army who gave us a ride home. It was a day were all of us felt how grateful we are to be alive , we then realize how Biscuits , Water and even the small things that we had where we sometimes took for granted . We definitely realize how important these things are into our lives. That even one biscuit at that time made us feel like it was the most delicious food we had . The Lord is mindful of us , each of his children and He will never leave us unaided .
