my exodus...still abiding in the vine?
I have gone from lifting sand and stone to lifting furniture. I've begun volunteering at a charitable organization called The Vine Project. It's an organization that picks up used furniture, crockery, and children's clothes and furniture, and sells them at a minimum donation of fewer than £15 to low income, displaced, or refugee families. I am what they call a "Van Volunteer." I travel around with one of two drivers, and help pick up and deliver furniture to and from homes. It's great to see how happy people get when they have just almost completely furnished their home in under £40. I will continue on this project for about two months. I hope to then travel to Kuwait for another month; then off to Dallas to watch Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street with my niece.I have heard back from many of you and it's been reassuring. Thank you for remembering me in your prayers. The next two years of my life will be crucial so I ask that you continue to remember me in your prayers. Cheers! (That's Thank you in the Queens language).
