Today we went to a nursing home. We helped by cleaning and talking to the patients. I was talking to one lady most of the time. She was very funny and I enjoyed taking to her. She used to love to dance so we talked about danci for a while. She also traveled all over the United States. There was one point when she got emotional because she was upset with herself because she could no longer walk and she wanted to walk so much. She was sad because she used to be so active and couldn't be anymore. She said she prayed every day that she could walk. I really hope she will be able to walk again someday she said she made a lot of progress since she first arrived at the nursing home. I really enjoyed talking to her and other people at the nursing home. After the nursing home visit, we went to lunch and then went to La Loma Luz Hospital. We took a tour of they hospital. They did a lot of renovations in the past year so parts of it looked really nice. They still have a lot of work to do on the hospital but it's amazing how much work they've done. I was surprised to see that there weren't many patients there but I think that's because people have to pay to go to this hospital. There's another hospital near by that's free but it's not as nice as the one we went to. After our tour, we helped out for a little. I helped clean the kitchen. If I ever have to go to the hospital here there is no way I'm eating the food. The kitchen was so dirty! I helped clean the windows and it looked like they haven't been cleaned in years! After that, we went back to the Log Cabinn and rested and ate dinner.
