a place of bonding
of sleeping
of jamming
of playing
a place of dress-up
sweet finds
and many memories
meet... the pile.
(sometimes we find epic outfits..as seen above..)
This is an enormous pile of donated clothes in the back of the church we were staying at. Flood survivors would come and rummage through to find clothes. It was so beautiful to see how many donations were received in such a graphic way. i've never seen this many clothes in one spot in my life! There were also piles and piles of shoes. One day me and some of the girls decided to try and make it look nicer so we put "outfits" together and hung them on a line to the one side, to make it more of a shopping experience to those who came. We as a team fell in love with this pile. Countless team meetings, testimony sharing, and dress up parties happened here. It was also nice to have a place where you could grab a sweater from if you were cold, or a pair of pants if yours got destroyed working ;) many of the guy preferred to sleep out here rather than in their room haha :) and the town kids loved playing tackle with us on it :) It is my hearts desire that everywhere we go this year would have a massive pile of clothes..many fond memories are formed in such places ;)
