At 1:30 in the morning, here come these crazy volunteers from Virginia, pounding on the doors. |
It sounds like a lot but at the end of the day, the commissary would be empty. Depleted. They came really from everywhere: Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan. There was no grand marshal, scheduling these trucks in. How did they decide to come to Bethel Lutheran? I don?t know. |
There was no one there. No one. |
We were on a grand adventure, not knowing what, exactly, to expect. It was a mess of uncertainty. |

You just get really close to these people. |
