TZ Medical Team June 24 09

Tanzanian Medical Mission Blog: June 24, 2009
2-1/2 days down and over 500 served! To celebrate, our team was able to take part in a traditional Swahili/English church service. The students of the Junior Seminary joined in and lead us in song. Beautiful does not begin to describe the sound of the a capella voices singing hymns in their native tongue. The service was truly moving.

Yesterday was challenging, as we had to temporarily shut down the clinic in order to adjust for an unruly crowd. The people here are so desperate for medical care and can become frustrated by long lines and stressful conditions. With the help of the local staff and a little reorganizing, today’s clinic ran very smoothly and we were able to help a record amount of people.

Tomorrow we are all looking forward to moving to a new Masaai village, to meet new people and to share our talents, passions and hearts. As always are hope is that we will be able to help the Tanzanians physically and spiritually. Please pray that we succeed.Today’s Swahili Lesson: Mzuri - beautiful
