Our day started with an infusion walk around the Baker neighborhood and all of the public gardens located there. We were able to learn a great deal about how these public gardens have had an incredibly positive impact on the development of a sense of community pride in this neighborhood and others. We proceeded to the Atlantis Community Center, where we met Nola, our host and guide while we were there. Nola talked to us about the struggles that people with disabilities face every day. We finished the tour and we were off to do some tough work there at Atlantis. We worked in the garden, weeding, watering, and picking vegetables for the residence at Atlantis. It was hot, the work was hard, but very rewarding. The garden looked amazing when we were done and everyone worked very well. We even had time to meet and visit with some of the residence of the program, and hear their story, awesome. Now, off to a local park for lunch. When we returned from lunch we had some down time and then some devotional time with our Bibles, talking about what we were doing hear in Denver, and how we could be Gods light to the world. All I can say is "WOW", what an insightful group of young people, some of the discussions were wonderful, a blessing. If you are curious try reading Ephesians 5:8-11, this is the passage our discussion was based on, these guys and gals have amazing faith and insight.
Now it was time for some much deserved dinner at Pete's Greek Town Cafe, and it rocked. After dinner we went to the Silvercrest Senior Residence to play BINGO have an ice-cream social with the residence there. It was a blast some of the residence were real characters, cutting up and having fun.
Well that's it for now we are off for devotional time right now stay tuned for more.
