Hope Hospice/School Visit/ HOH- Day 3 (March 31, 2015)

Hi my name is Drake and I am going to tell you about my day.  To start my day I went to breakfast but when I got there I realized that Scott and his room were all still asleep.  So I had to go and wake them up... they were grumpy!

Anyways, once again our group got split up into two groups.  Our group (Liam and I) started the day by organizing to go to Eber Prep school and performed some songs, along with a skit, and two testimonies. The kids were super pumped for us being there. After we completed that and were on our way out and Ryan had the brilliant idea to start a high-fiving kids followed by a stamped of joyous children. After we went to the Hope Hospice which is a home for elderly people and had plenty of conversations and laughs with all the people there when came devotion time. We expected that someone was already doing it for them and we would help but Olivine (our instructor) came up to us and informed us that we were doing the devotions... surprise! Well, we sat there for a minute discussing what to do when eventually we got a few ideas and went with them to fill in the time. It turned out to be a great time and learning experience. We finally left after many prayers and came back to enjoy our supper and team time together with the second group.

On the other hand Day 3 of the Homes of Hope we were blessed with good drying weather so we were able to catch up on some much needed painting. The house is going to be a brilliant lime green with cherry red trim and the inside a more sedated colour of bone white (which is a brownish white). We were fortunate enough to have the rain stay away enough to finish shingling the roof. It is awesome to see the excitement in Supa's face as he helps work on his new home.
