2016 mission LaCampa; day 3 is a day of preparation for the medical clinics. I am anxious as I go through the supplies, because I still do not know what to expect and if I will do good. I missed an opportunity to talk with some visitors that came into the hostel. They were from England and hiking here on vacation. I heard the small voice in my head telling me to invite them over and talk with them, but fear took over and I didn’t listen to God. I had an opportunity to witness and didn’t. I know I am not the only one that has done this. If you are one of them, please keep in mind that God does not give up. He will keep giving you opportunities until you trust him and listen.
Day 4 was clinic day. I started my day out with my devotion: 1 Corinthians 7:7- Each of you has your own gift from God, one has this gift, another has that. This spoke volumes to me. My gift is nursing and caring for people. I did this in the name of God for 86 people that day. When our clinic started I was so anxious. And when it was over, I felt it was all chaos. But after dinner in reflection time, our missionary, J, told me that our interpreter, M, said it was one of the best ran clinics, no chaos. I will take her word for it, because she has more experience with clinics than I do. While I was working and being so serious and anxious, she was able to make me laugh and lighten up.
We had a share time with some of the ladies and I felt God nudging me to share my testimony. So, this time I listened and pushed through the fear. I told my testimony of faith and how it got me through cancer. How my hair fell out and how sick I was and how God showed his love to me through my church and family loving and caring for me. I shared how seeing his love reassured my faith. I cried. Like a baby. Everyone cried. I feel like God nudged me so that Maria could share her testimony. She broke down and we prayed over her. I know God will be looking out for her and loving her. Afterward, we fellowshipped together with lemongrass tea. It was amazing. And yes, I drank the water!
