We had our first visit to Queen Elizabeth Home for the semester & as I approached Charter Hall I was welcomed by a massive group of volunteers.... 19 in total!
NINETEEN!
We had 3 returning volunteers from last term and 16 new SOs!
It was incredible.
There are only 14 kids at QE right now so we had more than one adult per child and I was amazed at just how smoothly things went. The kids were engaged and having fun and no one was acting up.
I realize that 19 people each week probably isn't realistic... but if at least half of that group remain faithful to visiting QE each week it will be awesome!
I am getting ahead of myself and daydreaming about how awesome Limes will be this term if we can get that many volunteers....
I heard this quote this week "Delays do not weaken the promise of God"
This past year was a bit of a struggle and wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of Amber Gazo, Michelle Nanney, Adriana Pardo, and Jessi Steinz.
When people were bitter and doubted that we should continue Limes and other volunteer activities we said no. These programs are way to important to these kids to just toss it aside.
And look what is happening! So many people want to get involved and help out and I believe that God has sent the right people for the job and I am optimistic about the future.
