My participation in 2008
The trip to Waveland with Whipple Heights in March of 2008 was God’s way of exposing me to a ministry which I enjoyed, and in which I could participate.
In the Thrift Shop, two other girls and myself set about organizing the merchandise. As we walked in, things were haphazardly arranged or sitting on the floor in boxes. When we left, the clothes were sorted into men’s, women’s and children’s, the book collection had expanded from one bookcase to three by unpacking boxes and bags, and dish sets had begun to sell, because now they were set up together as identifiable sets, rather than just being haphazardly placed on a table or left in a box. We were told no one had ever attempted this organization before.

Toward the end of the week, Dave said he did not need three of us. Because the other girls were from the same church, I moved on to experience working in construction.
