What A DAY! We all
gathered at a great breakfast anxious for our day to begin. Smith, one of our leaders,
told us of his neighborhood and a children’s community center “New Hope Activities.”
We were going to visit with kids of all ages. We were ready with a tub full of coloring
books, jump rope, soap bubbles, and a polaroid camera, etc. Well, I can’t
describe the joy of those kids. JOY is putting it mildly…. the laughing, the
singing, the jumping, and all the nails that were painted. Lastly, before we
left, a young boy about 12-13 years old asked the translator to ask me if I’d take
him with me, I was speechless.
Our afternoon stop was Home for Sick & Dying Babies. In
their care they have so many beautiful babies. We helped to feed them and just
be there and play with them. It filled my heart…truly moving. One of the Sisters
asked me to feed the tiniest baby I’ve ever held. Jean Paul was no more than
four pounds, and his sister Mary Paul even less. It was truly a moving experience.
God bless these Sisters for all they do.
And God Bless this Mission for doing all they do. I am humbled
to be a part of this team!
