Entry for 07 March 2009

We arrived at 1a.m. The trip was so long and made us really tired . After receiving the room’s key, we took just a short sleep . We had waken up at 6a.m and gone to eat at 6:15a.m We felt so tired and sleepy. After having a quick meeting, we had known some information about the place where we would work to day. There were two teams. I was in the second team. My team and I went to work at the Nashville Rescue Mission.

We arrived at about 8:30a.m and started working at 8:45a.m. We would work until 4p.m. And we would eat lunch and dinner here. Our jobs were pretty easy. Just classified some shoes, moved them to the shelf and cleaned the floor. That wasn’t hard with us. After working about 3hours, we went to eat. The food was really bad and I ate just a little bit. In the noon, we cleaned a whole bunch of blankets and pillows. At 4p.m, we stopped working and went to eat dinner. One more time, the food was so bad and I didn’t eat anything.

After a working day, I worked like a worker. I realized that working wasn’t easy with a good worker even the job wasn’t hard and worked in a team was better than alone. I have made a lot of new friends. They were really nice. We had a good worked day. I felt so happy because I had made new relationships and I could help poorer people than me.

You will fall asleep easily if you work the whole day.
