Day 5 Shepherds of Independence Bultsma

Today is the fifth day that we have been at Shepherds of Independence. Most of the days that we have been there we have cleaned mostly everything in the building. We've been hard at work sweeping, mopping, and cleaning windows. It's not what I pictured doing at a shelter. I thought that we would be working more with the residents instead of cleaning. I'm disappointed that we haven't interacted more with the residents but what I'm doing there is helping them in more ways then I know.  Many of the residents are extremely thankful that we are there cleaning the building. Many of them have said that the building has needed it for a long time. Even though we haven't done much with the residents this experience is opening my eyes and I'm extremely thankful for that.
