Last Sabbath, a couple of us girls and Chaplain Sonya went to the homeless shelter in Atlanta called "Genesis". It was a really neat experience cause I've never gone to feed the homeless before and I was excited to do it for the first time. We got started cooking, which was neat for some who had never really cooked pancakes before, and got ready to serve. There wasn't a huge amount of people to feed, so it was easier to get to know the people on a more personal basis. I went to go sit with this single mother with four kids, all under the age of seven. The second littlest one couldn't talk yet, so she'd just eyeball me and unsuccessfully shove applesauce into her tiny mouth. The second oldest one, who was about three or four, would do nothing but talk about how weird I was for putting applesauce and peanut butter on my pancakes. the eldest would help feed her baby brother. The kids were so cute and clung to all the girls like velcro. The adults were appreciative of the food, except for the only complaint I heard which was the fact that there was no meat. I'm glad I went.
