Open Eyes!

Last night for FHE, our group went to a care home. I showed up late and tried to sneak in unnoticed. As I walked in one of the ladies across the room saw me and waved, so I waved back, I had never seen this woman in my life, she was very friendly though. All at once the lady next to her turns to her and asks very loudly, "WHO'S THAT?" Everyone was laughing and it was pretty darn funny. Everyone in the group was going around saying the things they were grateful for. And as I thought about each thing they were saying, I noticed A LOT of these women and men couldn't even speak. But that they wanted badly to say something. Each of them that shared, shared there testimonies with us. And I was happy to see that even a disabled older person though there time had passed for sports and running around, or even walking most of them. They still had very powerful and very simple testimonies of the gospel. As we were coming to a close we sang a few closing songs. And the most handicaped man in the room, Brother Innes, started to cry. It was very touching, and I was very glad that I got to see it take place. We then all had Ice cream sandwiches which was funny to watch everyone eat them. These people came into this world as children and now they are more like children than they had been in years. Which makes me not want to be old....Oh well, part of life I suppose.
