On this day, we had a little bit later start. We had breakfast at 7:30, devotional time at 8 and left at 9 for the nursing home. We were able to sing some songs, in English and Spanish, to 20 or so men and women in the home. Many of them suffered from dementia and it was confusing to speak to them when we weren't sure if it was a language barrier or dementia that prohibited communication. We greatly enjoyed spending time here and we were able to also paint the fingernails of the women there. Another big highlight was hearing a sweet man play his guitar and sing to us in Spanish. He played beautifully and what was more wonderful was that he was able to share his music with someone. I really enjoyed it. Brittney W also sweetly walked around with an elderly lady who was greatly suffering from dementia. Brittney was so patient and kind with her and I was reminded how the Lord is ten times as patient with us as Brittney that day. Brittney impressed me greatly and I know it was the Lord's kindness that enabled her to be patient. After our time in the nursing home, we went back to Dona Lydia's for lunch. Then, at 1:30 or so, we headed out to the hospital. We were taken around to many different parts of the hospital, but they were all children who we saw as patients. They didn't take us to the adult wing of the hospital. We went to the burn unit, the broken bone unit, the neurological unit, the newborn baby section, the cancer unit, and I believe that is it. It was a hard day, but I hope that in some small way our small gifts and our words of prayer encouraged the hearts of the children and their parents. Ask that the Lord would continue to work miracles for those we prayed for specifically. The Lord is capable, we just have to ask. I am excited to see how He will use those prayers for His glory. Though we may not know on this side of heaven, one day we will see it all clearly. This evening, we got home early and ate dinner at Dona Lydia's at 6 - much earlier than the 8:30 and 8:45 dinner times for Monday through Wednesday. We played silent football again and I again was a spectator. My favorite parts of this evening's game were when Jeff W had to say 'Yo Adrian' every time someone 'Vamushka-ed' and when Mikey R had a whole conversation with his right hand. Particularly when Mikey said, 'I know you want to write, but you just don't do it as well as the left hand.' Ba ha ha! Mikey, you're hilarious! Then, they played the word game but didn't finish it because it got completely chaotic. During the evening, my feet swelled to bizarre and enormous proportions. As a result, I did not get to go out with the group on Friday. But praise the Lord, they're looking normal today! :)
