Journal entry 12: 7/19/22

 



Today we had clinic at the San Juan Mission church. We saw 88 people today! It was good to work with Ana and Delmi today. Pastor Cesar was there to help too, but I think he was the entertainment! I am sure he enjoys getting to be out with the people in his community. He is a lawyer by trade but is called to minister. He is so excited and it shows in his smile and laughter. Rosa showed up! She is the young lady we met the day before on our prayer walk. She was able to assist Dr. Kevin at his clinic table. She came before her shift at the hospital. So she did double duty! She sent me whats app text saying "don't forget me". Please keep her in your prayers.
We had a lot of kids. It always seems crazy with kids running around while we are working, but it doesn't feel that way. So this is how it goes.....mom shows up and has 3-5 registration papers. I ask where the kids are and then she starts to yell their name. They all coming running. I examine them, then they say, "can we go?" So I better get it all done before, because they aren't coming back!
This clinic I had more teenagers than the others. I had to do a lot of education with them. You know, the girl kind of education. I won't go into the details!!

Then when we got back, I was outside talking with the family and I get a bug bite. I think I attract bugs. I am sure I have handed this trait onto my kids! But this bug bite HURT! and it swelled! I think it was a spider bite. So what do I do? What any nurse would. I take my fat, black sharpie and circle it an mark it. Then slather it in bug bite cream and hydrocortisone. Then worry all night that it is infected or worse!

Well, as you can tell I survived. I am still here, leg intact. 

Proverbs 19:17
"Those who are gracious to the poor lend to the Lord, and the Lord will fully repay them."
