Day 347 - Volunteered with Operation Christmas Child

After a couple of years of participating in Samaritan Purse's Operation Christmas Child I decided to get a big more involved this year. For the first year ever Dallas/Fort Worth is one of 9 national processing centers for Operation Christmas Child.  There are many opportunities to help so myself and a few of my friend volunteered for a few hours this morning.  We were entrusted with inspecting each box to make sure that it was not only packed full of goodies and ready for a sweet child but also free of any items that may be dangerous or slow things down at customs. It was a wonderful experience getting to see how carefully people had packed their boxes and all the cute personal notes and pictures will not only be blessings to the little kids that receive them, but also to all of us that saw them. 

What an amazing organization Samaritan Purse is and seeing the excitement among all the volunteers was awesome!!
