This year was something I was looking forward to. My daughter was coming with the team. We all made it safe to LaCampa March 19th, despite Erin and 2 others getting car sick. I do have to say they were troopers; no vomit was ever seen!
We hit the ground running once we arrived. I had to sort, divide and plan the clinics. I thought J was going to do this, but it was placed in my hands. Let me remind you, in case you forgot, I am still new at this! I had to say “not today satan!” and pray hard. God touched me and told me, I have placed this in your hands to lead. I have you here for a reason. So I leaned on God’s strength and wisdom to help me sort, plan and give me the knowledge to know what to do.
So, this takes us to our first clinic. 140 people! It was cold and up in the mountains. Not what we were expecting. Erin helped out with the clinic. This was a lot different than last year’s trip. The clinic today was busier with more people. There were a lot of kids there and thank goodness some of our other ladies were able to have a make shift children time with them.
After the clinic, and on our way back, we didn’t have enough room in the trucks for all of us because some of the men were staying behind to show the Jesus film and they needed one of our trucks. So, 4 of us had to ride in the back of the truck. I volunteered. I wish I didn’t.
You see, in my mind I am not in my 50’s, but I am in my 20’s. So I think I can do more than my body wants me to do.
Well, I did it. And almost fell out! The roads there are dirt, very hilly and curvy. Then I thought it better to be safe after that and sat down in the truck and the bumps were terrible! My behind was so bruised when we got back. No wonder they tell us it is better to stand. I will never forget that trip!
When we got back and unpacked everything, we sat down for dinner and the lights went out...ALL over LaCampa! So we had to have dinner by "phone" candlelight! It was awesome.
I felt God that day. He pulled all of us through in healing the people there and touching their hearts for the first time with the love of God. It is amazing how we can go into these little towns/villages and introduce them to Jesus. Without the clinics, we would not be able to go. I am so glad to be a part of something much bigger than me.
Bendiciones,
