The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. Psalm 28:7

Outreach

We had such a nice day yesterday!

After church we had a yummy haystack lunch at Addy's house and then at 3pm we loaded up my family and 3 other youths from sabbath school class and we went to the old folks home in San Ignacio.

A missionary friend as just recently placed her husband there due to his increasing alheimers. So we had been wanting to go for a while but this just urged us even more.
We really had a nice time there singing to the elderly and brother Ken sure enjoyed it; he sang along and clapped his hands.


This picture doesn't quite do it justice for our group nor for the residents. The elderly were scattered all around us.
The center has a cat and you hardly ever see a cat in good shape here so I had to snap a picture of this languishing animal!


After we left the elderly home we stopped by to see Azra and see how she was doing. Her left eye is still quite puffy and it looks like she is sick again with a bad cold.
Next, we drove on to the hospital to check on Damian & Alindy (the other gal we had prayed for Friday night.) I was so happy to see Damian alert and talkative......he said thank you for the things we had brought him and said we could sing to him. Thank the Lord the antibiotics were working and his nausea was subsided. I asked him if he had eaten food that day and he said yes! So thats sounding better and while we were there a man came in to take his photo as part of working on getting him to the states for surgery.
We only stopped by Alindy's room to pray because it looked like she was sleeping and she didn't look good either. Another reason we didn't stay too long is that none of us spoke spanish. We did pray and one of the youths translated it as best he could. We did leave a EGW book (ministry of Healing) in spanish and a couple other spanish magazines.

We are praying for their recoveries.
