Wonderful day with the seniors!

Today was a day that I was looking forward to even before we left for Kyrgyzstan.  It was the day that we went and spent time with the seniors at Kemin!  We started our day at 9:30 a.m. to pick up final groceries and 15 roasted chickens, picked up tons of clothing that were donated from the Netherlands, picked up around 15 people and in one vehicle we were off and running to Kemin.

When we arrived we unloaded the bus to the delight of the seniors.  They will have a blast going through all of the clothes and items that were donated.  They also were proud to show us that they had finished the renovations in their entry room and living room.  What a beautiful job they have done!

While the food was being prepared the seniors all gathered together in the living room and had a short program for us.  They sang, danced, played the spoons, etc.  It was sooo delightful to watch them enjoy their talents and to share them with us.  At the end, the LAMb team gathered together and sang a few songs while mom & Lynn played their ukuleles.  Lynn ended the time sharing from the Word.

Before we ate, the seniors were given a new pair of spring/summer slippers.  Thank you donors for your support!  You helped up buy the slippers and the food for dinner.  We really appreciate being able to have you join us this way!

Dinner was exciting!  They don't get much food so they always enjoy getting the chicken that the team brings along.  We cooked peas & corn, rice & chicken.  Served it to them and honored them.

As the visit came to a close we cleaned everything up for them and said our goodbyes.  Before we left, we then delivered some C.S. Lewis books to one of the ladies that has some serious health issues and is bedridden.  She was delighted and wondered when we could bring her more.  Pray that she get's better!

As we left we looked into the snow covered mountains and reveled in God's glory.  Spring is here and some of the hills that had snow when we arrived are now looking green.  A new season is arriving . . . a new hope for tomorrow is as well.

We came to bless but what always ends up happening is we are the ones blessed . . .
