So last week we didn't exactly decorate the frames-they choose instead to learn how to knit! Luckily, two people in the class already knew how to knit, so we just tried to teach Sam. I think she got the hang of it, seeing as how this week she came in with a crocheted scarf half done!
This week, Silvia brought in more of her yarn supplies, and chose to crochet in class all day. She is wonderful at crafts! She has more patience and drive than almost anyone when she is passionate about something.
She also brought in a few puzzles for us to all work on! I got to work on one of the 3-D puzzles, until I handed it over to John as he took out a new bag of broken jewelry he found lying around that week. I helped him turn a broken necklace into a very beautiful and functioning one.
A new woman came into class this week and was so excited and happy to paint. She kept telling us how thankful she was that she knew about the Franciscan center:) She really was a very kind woman, so we let her take home a small pallet of watercolor paints and a new paintbrush.
Then another man that came in a few weeks ago, arrived again today. He asked to finish his drawing that he had started prior.
We even had our youngest visitor come in today! A little boy came running in with his father as they were waiting outside of the room for something, and I gave the little boy a paintbrush and some paint, and he was yelping happily to put the brush to the paper! His father was very supportive of him too, and encouraged him as well, praising him when he got a big streak down on the paper.
The people there are all good people. I am really starting to like this place an awful lot. I wish I got to know all of the people there, they all have their individual stories. Beautiful.
