Seed Packing

       On Saturday April 17, I went with my mom and sister to participate in seed packing. This is my second time doing this service opportunity. From 10am to 12:30am I went to my church and helped with the process of putting seeds into little packages which would then be sent to other countries so that the people there can plant gardens for vegetables to give them a source of food and income. My family arrived late to this service opportunity so we could not get a designated spot and got split up, I guess it is a good problem to have too many volunteers because that means there are a lot of people that want to help. Because of this, I got a chance to meet other people I didn't know even though they go to my church. It was nice to be able to see different groups of people come together to help those we don't even know. I think sometimes it is harder to serve those we can't see because you can have less of a sense that you are making a difference when you aren't seeing a direct difference in peoples lives. But doing behind the scene service has shown me that you can help people just as much as working one on one with them.
