Yesterday we went back to the senior’s shelter with the interns and the team (from New Jersey) that’s here this week.<\/b> You can see a handful of pictures below of today’s activities.<\/p>\n

The home is only a few minutes from our house, inside a brick factory. A family there has taken in seniors (mostly – some younger) who have been abandoned and\/or abused.<\/p>\n

The theme this summer has been the fruit of the Spirit, so Mayra shared the final set today, with a clear presentation of the Gospel. Then Rod led some music.<\/p>\n

After that we cooked and served breakfast for them (pancakes – just like a Stampede breakfast<\/a>!).<\/p>\n

Then we had some time to hang out, and do a craft based on the theme.<\/p>\n

We have a doctor on the team with us, so she went around taking people’s blood pressure while I translated. There’s one man who is really struggling with some health issues right now – please pray that he will be able to get some help at the hospital soon.<\/p>\n

It is always a tremendous blessing to visit. We’ve enjoyed helping out in a few ways, and have a few schemes up our sleeves for the future. One of our interns noticed that some of the residents needed new shoe laces, so she went and got some nice colourful ones to share. How fun is that?<\/i><\/p>\n

Here are a few pictures from the day. I’ll post some larger versions next time I update our Photo Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
