rs. Today I wanted to have an easy Sunday, but then the telephone rang. It was our nurse Wilda who told me that an elderly couple just arrived at the hospital and said that I promised them a place in the camp. We waited for them yesterday, but they didn't make it to the hospital in time. So I drove to the hospital. The woman is half-paralyzed; the 70year old grandpa accompanies her. I didn't hesitate long and gave the woman a bed in the hospital, while the man will get a tent place in the camp. First the woman needs some care and secondly she has high blood pressure. Before they settled I brought them to the camp so that they could meet the other people. Everybody greeted her cordially and shook her hand. I don't know how many times the grandpa thanked me for helping them and not dismissing them. Since the crash he tried at five different placed and two churches and each time they were not accepted. Recently he humbly asked for a possible tent place when he came here for food. I learned that he took care of his wife for several years in a tiny house until it was put on fire. A young men helped him carrying his wife in a chariot. Thanks God he had some help, otherways his wife would be lost in the flames. He said that it is not easy for him but now he sees some hope again. It's so nice to see how two people can get old together and help each other.
