A Day's Work
Today started out at 6:30am, up and out of bed and heading over to the base for a 7:30am team brief and prayer for the team visiting from Baton Rouge, LA. We have 2 great families here this week. It has been great serving them and experiencing having other families around.
At 9:30am we headed out to the Cerebral Paulsey orphanage where we played with the children, pushed them around in their wheelchairs and I was reminded once again, how the only difference between them and me is that you can see their handicap, but you can't see mine. Theirs is physical and obvious, mine is a sin issue and is easier for me to cover up, but it's there. It always touches my heart going there and I would speculate I've been there at least 8 times. While it gets easier, it's still far from easy.
The afternoon was spent out at the Quinta where the team swam and I learned how to play Phase 10. It was fun. I even won a couple rounds.
This evening we went down to the hospital for hospital ministry. Sandra and the children came too! It never ceases to amaze me the conditions people are facing when we go down there. I met a really nice couple from Guadalupe who were there supporting a friend whose son just had surgery. It's now 10:15pm and I'm heading home for a shower.
