A New Friend

After spending two long, hard days in Denver for a mission trip, I was getting very down, not experiencing what I had longed for. Then my heart was changed when my group went to a nursing home, on Wednesday, named Villa Manor. My group leader, another girl in my group, and I gathered people for games. I approached one room and asked a sweet, little lady named Lillian Apricio, if she would like to join us. She came with a huge smile upon her face. Lillian and Elizabeth were entertained playing volleyball. I asked Lillian to join me in the garden area. Eager to go, I guided her to the sitting area in the beautiful garden. The next half hour, we spent enjoying each others company, talking to each other about our lives, and changing mine forever.
