Wednesday Recap

Another busy day here in the city! We started the morning early with breakfast and devotions. Then we left and went to World Mission for Christ where we met Dr. Joanne Perkins. Dr. Perkins was an energetic, fun, animated, loving, enthusiastic woman. Her love for the Lord and His people was clearly evident and she was thrilled to have us help at the church. We tidied up by sweeping and weeding out front. We then went to her house and helped clean and pack up in preparation for her move. We had a lot of fun with Dr. Perkins and really enjoyed her stories, songs, and dance! We left Dr. Perkins and ate lunch at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. The hardest and most upsetting part of the day was when we went to St. Thomas More Rehabilitation Hospital. We visited with patients and brought a smile to many faces. When we left, we talked about how bad we felt for the patients there. One patient told us how the staff doesn't take the time to talk to the patients and she was very grateful for the time we spent with her. This evening, we walked around the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and ate dinner again at our favorite restaurant, Ben's Chili Bowl! Pray that we continue to get the rest we need and that God keeps us safe while traveling around the city.
