Hola amigos! We’re on
a short break with access to Wi-Fi, so we thought we would post more
information about our day yesterday!
First, we went to the Rena da Paz nursing home where we spent time with
the residents and played several rounds of loteria (picture bingo). It was so fun to spend time with another
group that the Mission of Friendship partners with. One of the residents even shared her story
with us and touched many of our hearts. Following
our time at the nursing home we made a brief stop at the medical dispensary run
by the mission and met with Dr. Sylvia.
It was awesome to see the work that they do there and how much help they
provide to the people of Merida. Our
last stop of the day was the Nueva Vida girls program. While there we enjoyed a delicious lunch,
worked on some projects for Tricia and goofed around with the girls. For our work projects we divided into groups
and got a lot done around the mission.
Some of us painted a sign on the side walk, others organized the mission
storage room and others moved plants around the grounds of Nueva Vida. At the end of the day we were so sad to say
goodbye to the girls at Nueva Vida. We
received many hugs and kisses for the road and all hope to see the girls again
someday.
We will try our best to post more information and pictures
soon. Sending lots of love from Merida!

I hope you are all having a blast! I remember doing all of that when I was there!
