Big Thanks

So thanks to the people that helped and especially thanks to God. I saw Him the entire time. So it was the following day and we met Allen at his house. I came up and said “Hey, Allen. You remember when I said I could do everything I could.” He said ya. I told him why don’t you come over and help me out with some stuff in the car. Two cars fully stacked with food and $300 left over. He started crying a little and repeatedly said thank you. To be honest it was the most sincere reactions I have ever seen. To be honest I don’t think he understood what was happening. We unloaded food for about 20 minutes and I don’t think it had completely sunk into him yet. Anna his girlfriend was crying the entire time though in little bursts. Once everything was loaded in their house we told them we had money left over and we headed out to Wal-Mart for some additional supplies because we didn’t know everything they needed. So we got there and I was hanging with Anna. She was pampering herself for the first time in the most minute way though. She got a blue outfit and some fruit spray and shampoo and conditioner. She got new underwear and bras. She felt blessed with the things that we all take for granted. Allen got 2 pairs of shoes and we ended up getting some more food. We headed back and when we got there we unloaded again. We got in and everything was done that we could do and we were ready to head out. They asked if we could just stay a little longer and her threw in some pizza’s and just started talking. By the way while we were there it was impossible to sit because the entire room was stacked with food. How cool is that! When we were at Wal-Mart we had orders from Allen’s mom to come back with some black Reebok shoes. When we came back to the house she walked back and forth in the room every 5 minutes talking about her new shoes. She hadn’t had a new pair of shoes in 45 years. After we ate some pizza we started talking and they were just so thankful. We got them their own bibles and some devotional material. Throughout the last 2 weeks we have been talking back and forth. Progress is being made and God is sweet!
