Today, we went to church in Mezcallia. We were here 2 years ago in 2016, and they had never heard of Christ. Through our clinics, we were able to show them love and talk about Jesus. In 2017, we returned and had our clinics at a local lady’s house. Well, happy to report, their church is built, and we had the first service today. Not sure how many people but they think there was around 150-170 that attended! We were inside and outside, all around the church, looking in the windows and doors. The whole ceremony was so touching with the anointing of the church. They walked through the church praying and flicking the anointing oil on the ground and putting the oil on their hands then on the walls inside and outside. What an honor and amazing thing to be a part of!

Another clinic today. 187 people. And we teamed up with the local clinic. Whew! They were a huge help. I was beginning to think that I was going to have to enlist the men to help out with the clinic tables! Wouldn’t that be a sight!
We had 2 nurses and a dentist! My clinic work spot was across from the dentist. It was crazy to watch him work. He was pulling teeth left and right. I lost count, but he pulled a lot of teeth.
I had to play a lot of charades in the clinic. It was kinda hysterical. I am waving my arms, or pointing to a body part to try to get them to understand me. They were just looking at me like I was a crazy woman. The kids just laughed and thought it was a game. I really need to learn Spanish.
We only had one interpreter for me and another nurse. It was hard for her to keep up with us both. So, I thought I the charades would help. It didn’t!

Clinic in Monqueto. This was our largest so far, 231 people! Today, I saw a 7yo boy that had a stroke and a 12 yo girl that has glaucoma. I wish there was more I could do for them.
It has been busy and sometimes I feel like it is like “get them in, get them out” so we can see everyone and not turn anyone away. It doesn’t make for the personal care that I want to give them. Satan is working hard to tear us down. With me, I feel I am concentrating on the hard work and whining how tired I am, instead of all the good work God is doing through us. So I had to tell myself, “GET OVER IT ALREADY”! I made a list of the many blessings that I have been given so far and what God has done so far. I mean, look at all the people we have seen in the clinics and all of those we have helped. Not to mention the women’s and children ministries and the construction ministry. So many people we have touched.
Bendiciones,
