Service at Sinsinawa Mound

Last Thusday, November 1st, I volunteered again at the Sinsinawa Mound. Sister Sarah greeted us and told us that she had been able to lay down the rocks we had previously washed, so all we had to work on that day was cleaning a new layer of rocks. We worked on that while Sage and I talked to Sister Sarah about her upcoming trip. She told me that she has an upcoming trip to Miami, Florida for a National Treasure Conference. She explained that there would be around 800 people attending and that they were going to be discussing issues dealing with Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. I realized how involed Sister Sarah and many of the sisters at the Mound are with issues involving their community, as well as surounding communities and issues involving people in te United States. I think the issues they are involved in are crucial to our lives, and it's great they do so much to participate. We have volunteered 10 hours at the Mound so to meet our deadline we will be volunteering either one or two more times. And on our last visit, Sister Sarah would like us to eat supper again with her and a few of the other Sisters. It's great knowing that what I am doing is making a difference and helping them, but I also learn so much about other people and other communities.
