¡Objectivos! (Goals)

Our goal was to increase communication as a group. It is difficult with all our busy schedules to keep everyone on the same page, but we know that it would really help our project. We hoped to improve our communication by meeting weekly for at least 10 minutes to discuss the project and by taking notes on the dry erase board in our apartment, so that everyone can have a visual of the necessary tasks. We will be starting this week and continuing until the end of the year.

Candace, Suzy and I went to visit the residents on Sunday and had fun conversation with some new faces while they finished lunch. Candace played guitar and we held a sing along of some classic songs the residents liked. This progressed into singing hymns together out of the books and Candace playing some current pop songs. Shockingly, the residents really enjoyed hearing "Baby" by Justin Bieber and"Timshel" by Mumford & Sons. It was so great to see their faces light up and sing with them. I am really enjoying to know some of the residents pretty well and reconnecting with them every time I visit. It's going to be great because I think I will be going on this Sunday again too and I'm really looking forward to it.
