Feeding the Homeless

Last Thursday night, March 12th, Isaac and I went with a team from First Baptist Lutz and Tera Ritchie to Suitcase City to feed the homeless. You might be wondering what this has to do with our Peru trip, but I had told Isaac that it would be similar to Peru in that we were helping those less fortunate than ourselves. Iwas SO PROUD of Isaac! He jumped right in and helped, and after some initial hesitation, he walked around with me to talk to some of the people we served. For a child that can be so reserved, he was in his element and shined at doing what God created him to do. I can't wait to see him in action in Peru!!
