Hospital Visit

Today has been the most emotional day of my visit here. I went to a children’s cancer hospital with Patricio’s wife Pilar.
We visited with all the children there including the terminal patients. There were about 50 + children all ages. The youngest was 6 months old.

I did have the opportunity to minister a father and his young son. The boy has leukemia plus he has asthma and they had to put a breathing tube in his throat. The father is a strong Christian man with 6 children. I was able to witness to him first hand as I know what he is going through with his child being sick and not knowing what the outcome will be.

Your faith gets you through most days but your emotions are all over the chart depending on each breath your child takes. To see a very strong man reduced to uncontrollable tears is a gut wrenching event that I tears your heart out.

We prayed together and hopefully I made a small difference if only for a short moment. I let him know that we would pray for his son and for him and that God would be there for his son no matter what happened.
I did take pictures of each child so when I get the pictures on you will see these sweet children, and please pray for each of them.

In the afternoon I was a quest at a Bingo charity event. It lasted 6 hours, as they play much different than we do and it was for charity so guess the rules were different they gave out more prizes for each game. Didn’t get home till after 8 and then just relaxed.

Will write more tomorrow.
