First Day of Clinic

Today started out great with Sue leading our devotional.  She talked about worry and referred to Luke 12:22-31 which talks about how we are not supposed to worry, but to trust that God will provide for us in all situations.  This was a great devotional for our first clinic day because we were all a little worried I'm sure about how things were going to go and if everything would go as planned.  It was a good reminder th

at we are here to do God's work, He is in control, and no problem is too big for Him to handle.  Its lunch time now during our first day of clinic and the morning seemed to fly by.  There were a lot of people from Sumpango who came out to see the providers we had at the clinic, which was really encouraging.  So far things have flowed pretty smoothly and we haven't run into any problems we haven't been able to handle.  Jon and Scott did a great job of working with Oscar and Los Olivos to get members of the church to come out and help with the clinic.  The members of Los Olivos take the people who are coming to the clinic to a waiting area and then when they have finished seeing a provider they take them up to pharmacy to get their prescription filled.  While waiting for their prescriptions, members of the church share the Gospel and pray with them.  The people who come to the clinic also get their picture taken by the members of the church so they have a way to remember this experience.  We also have the privilege of working with some medical students who are helping translate for the providers, members of the optical team, and the pharmacy team.  We continue to thank God for His faithfulness and help during this time, without Him none of this would be possible.
