Clinic Day Four

When we woke up the whole lake was foggy because of the storm yesterday. We could barely see the mountains. We had a delicious breakfast and Addie lead our morning devotion. She discussed rejoicing in God’s goodness. As we ended breakfast and started clinic, there was already a line out of the door. The first people we served today was the news people who came to make a story about us! Because we knew the news was coming, we all wore our matching shirts and even brought shirts for our translators. As we neared lunchtime we had served around 100 people! After lunch we decided to take a group picture with all our matching shirts. Then we were back to work. Everyone was working so hard to make sure everyone got the care they needed. By the end of the day our total had came out to around 150 people served again. Shortly after clinic, we all hopped in the car to go grab ice cream. We went to a local place where everyone was able to pick a flavor of their choice. Once we got back from ice cream, some of us played night soccer and caught fireflies. We had our team meeting and ate some dinner. Then Heidi lead our nightly devotion discussing how we have gotten to this point and how God has lead us.

Clinic Day Two

  After a well deserved rest, everyone was up for the day. The sky was very clear and we were able to see the volcano in the distance. We ate breakfast this morning and Karlee lead our morning devotion. We discussed how God loves everyone and gives grace not dependent on our works. Once breakfast and devotional was over, Dr. Elry was already checking people in to the clinic again. We all got to our stations after a quick prayer. Then we were off! People tricked in steadily and we were able to serve everyone with the proper care they needed. Marty was even able to fix a couple of pair of glasses that were broken. An older woman who was around 95 years old came in and we had to adjust how we tested her. Her son brought her in and was very chatty with everyone! At one point a boy came in with his mother and a small dog. The dog hung out in the clinic while the mom and boy got tested and received glasses. We took our lunch break around 1 and one of our translators, Ashwin, brought fres...

To start the morning we ate a delicious breakfast and Christina began our morning devotions. We discussed how practicing humility is important and how Jesus is our perfect example of practicing humility. As we finished up and went into the clinic, we did a quick prayer before be began serving people. We were a lot busier than yesterday with every station filled with people to help. Everyone from young kids in school to several 90 year olds who came to see us today. Since this is our third clinic day, we are all starting to pick up on some new Spanish phrases within our stations and using them to help. Everything is starting to flow a bit better and everyone is getting more experienced within their roles. We were so busy right up until lunch where we were all able to take a short break. After lunch we were back at it! We were able to serve over 150 people today. We even stayed open a bit longer than we had planned since it had been so busy. The last two people we served were Dr. Elry’s ...

Training!

This past weekend our team got together for training on how our clinic will work once we arrive in Guatemala. We were able to get a better understanding of the tasks we would need to do in the field. We practiced the gospel message we will be spreading, testing eyes, distributing, and fitting glasses. There was so much to learn, and our team is ready to use the talent, time, and supplies God has gifted us to serve others. With less than 2 weeks before takeoff, we continue to pray for both our travels and those we are going to serve.
