To
say that the first day at the Center was overwhelming in a lot of ways would be
an understatement. The tour of the Center at the beginning of the day
was extremely eye opening and helpful. It’s safe to say that many tears were
shed.
Throughout
the day, teamwork within the group was obvious. When anything was needed
it seemed like someone was always there to be supportive and help out.
To
begin the week, it was neat to realize that Christ equips the body with
whatever He deems fit for any specific time. Our team has the fortune of
being equipped with a physical therapist by the name of Mary Beck. Today,
throughout the day, she worked with one of the “Bunnies” that is
developmentally delayed. Her name is Maria. Most of the day, she
was very uncomfortable and cried. However, by the end of the day, it
seemed that she got a little bit of relief because she actually smiled and
laughed with Mary Beck.
Also,
the staff have begun to learn a Bible verse each week. This is
intended to help them learn English. Howie actually promised chocolate to
workers that can say their verse in English by tomorrow. Who doesn’t love
chocolate, right?
Even
though we are tired, we understand that we are being the hands and feet of
Christ and serving as He would serve.
