Well Turkey Delight was a huge success. I thank you all for your prayers and support, especially Stephanie and her small group. Except for the fact that they sent all of my knives through the dishwasher (that's a huge no no) they were truly awesome and everything turned out perfect. Maybe the treasure in heaven for us will be a turkey dinner who knows? So now that this whole ordeal is all said and done I am sitting here tonight trying to think of how this project affected me and to be completely honest it did not. I feel the exact same last night as I do tonight and I do not know if this is normal or not. I thought I might feel warm and fuzzy inside you know that really good feeling you get inside of you when you know you sacrificed some of your time for the benefit of others. But there were none of those feelings in my heart tonight. I guess I kind of feel disappointed that I do not have those feelings because they are awesome. I know deep down that God used me to help other people feel good tonight but why doesn't that make me feel good? It is a school project so I have one more paragraph to hand in on this project but I have no clue what to write it about. Overall, I had a lot of fun doing this project over the last 2 days and I had a great time hangin out with Chet for it but for some reason tonight is just almost depressing to me for some reason. Maybe I am just tired and crabby so I am going to head to bed. Thank you all again for your support for this project you filled a lot of very empty stomachs tonight and warmed a lot of hearts. Stay classy my amigos!

Glad to hear it was a success. And don't worry, it'll come. Sometimes, sacrifice is not rewarding at all. And it's not about us anyways, it's about them. I know that doesn't help you with the last part of your paper, but I've found that it's only truly rewarding when you see the effects of your efforts match with what God is doing in a person's heart. That, you almost never see immediately, if ever. This small, but meaningful event could affect someone in huge, monumentous ways- later in life. Right now is planing seeds is it not? I know this doesn't give you any answers, but your last line kinda sums it up for now- "You filled a lot of very empty stomachs tonight and warmed a lot of hearts" Anyways, I wish I could have been there for that.
Thanks a lot Carmen you have some very wise words and you guy sbetter be coming down in January to visit me or else...I'll just miss you that much more.
