Happy July 4th!

Happy July 4th! We had pizza for dinner that we all appreciated very much. We also had peanut m&ms for dessert so we had an American meal to celebrate the occasion.

We spent the first of three days in a new village called Fulwe. The patients had already filled up the benches waiting for us when we arrived. We set up, listened to hymns and a short devotion, and saw patients continuously from 9-1. We broke for lunch that was cooked by the village women, most of which were evangelists' wives. We passed out our last prescription around 4, after treating 165 patients, meaning about 825 different prescriptions. The eye clinic dispensed over 170 glasses, and Deboria pulled 21 patients' teeth, with 22 more patients awaiting her arrival in the morning. Obviously, it was another busy day!

We are really seeing God move in these people. This morning, a woman going through triage asked Conner and his translator to pray for her because she wanted to become a Christian. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support.

Please continue to pray for our team's health and energy.
Also, the
lost luggage has still not arrived. David is improvising with a piece of cloth that he has made into a toga. The cloth is red, white, and blue, however please send your prayers his way! We love you and miss you!
