We started at our house this morning at 10:00am and put together 50 sack lunches. The students also brought over 100 items of warm-weather gear (coats, shoes, scarves, hats, etc). God is so good, because today happened to be our first day of cold weather, so we knew the clothing items would be of good use! The temps were in the teens and it was cold!!
After making the lunches, we drove to Boulder and hit the streets! We were in small groups and handed out the lunches and clothing items and also offered to pray and talk with people on the street. We ended the afternoon at the Bridge House, part of the Boulder Homeless Shelter where homeless men and women can get a hot meal in the winter months (they serve breakfast and dinner) and warm up in a small room, we are so thankful for those who volunteer and contribute to the homeless! We pray that God used the students today to be a light in a dark place and were thankful to have our eyes opened to people that God loves in need of help.

We talked a LOT this afternoon with Carson and Aliana about how thankful we are for our home to keep us warm and for the food we have to keep our bellies full!
Praying you all had a safe and blessed Veteran's Day. We are so thankful for the men, women and families who serve our country!
