Day 2 Degage Ministries Feddema
Today, we did basically the same thing as yesterday. We walked into the building and waited to talk to the main desk runner and right away I was greeted by a man I now know as George, "Hey Gabe!" That was super great, that someone remembered me. Throughout the day, we worked behind the counter, opening lockers for people, selling them razors, long johns, shirts, gloves, etc. for low amounts of money. I also would put soap and tokens into the washing machines when people needed them, and most often, check for people's mail. The thing I actually really liked though was when we didn't have anything to do, and we could talk or watch the people. Today a writer for a dog article showed up because apparently almost everyday they bring these huge dogs in to interact with the consumers. It was super cool to watch this man that was obviously out of his comfort zone, going around asking people that are a ton less fortunate than him how they feel about dogs and how the dogs they bring in there make them feel. It was also very interesting to watch the dog interacting with the people. No judgement, he just goes up to them. Well of course he does, because he's a dog! But I think we should take an example from that. One the last things that happened was a man enthusiastically thanking us for being there, and saying he better see us everyday for the next two weeks. That made me feel great.
