Day 3
wow! what a great day. we saw around 150 patients today...mas o minus! it was a hopping place and they have already handed out over 100 numbers for tomorrow. the whole team is having a great time, working hard and living in a community. the host church here is amazing...they have started 10 churches and trying to open 25 in the next 5 years. we were able to visit one that our construction team worked on recently. it is in a very poor area and was very impressive. i talked to the rio bravo team and they also accomplished so much today at the school, rafters, roof, windows, paint stucco on inside and out. we are all tired tonight and trying to fall asleep as soon as possible. we are making great friends with each other and with some of the people we have seen. we thank you for the opportunity to be here. we are blessed by this trip.
Day 4
hello everyone! what an unbelievable day we had. we saw about 150 people. many of those went to all; doctor, eye doctor and dentist. gary smith, our dentist, and don england, his assistant worked so hard. i can not tell you how hard he worked! well everyone worked hard. we also have one pharmacist, jim brown, and he worked so hard while bending over filling the orders (he is very tall, too). we went to the juan wesley seminary and it is a beautiful building with beautiful big wooden doors. we have treated diabetics, found people with high blood sugar, pregnant moms (many very young), chicken pox, ingrown toenails, lots of colds, coughs and runny noses, lots of fungus and lots of stuff i don't even know about! we have smiled and laughed so much. we have prayed and done our devotions! we celebrated terry lawson's and don england´s birthday with a cake and a spiderman piñata. it was a fun way to end our time at our little church we have been working in. everyone of us have had a blast and i think everyone will be doing this again if given the chance. thank you so very much for the fantastic opportunity. tomorrow we will sleep just a little later, pack up and go to pastor guzmon´s church (several people have commented that he reminds us of rev. mason). that will be a treat to see and worship there. i think many of us will sleep on the way home...see you all soon.
