Happy Monday! As we begin this post, we are cheering on our brave teammate Emily, who has made a bet that she can finish an entire pizza on her own. I’m obliged to tell you that her opponent is the previously mentioned John Bode (6’6’’). You could say that our team bonding is coming along pretty well. Stay tuned tomorrow for the results of this epic showdown.
On a more serious note, we had a wonderful day of clinic on this fine Monday. The Lord provided a nice rain shower to cool off a land that seems perpetually hot, so from the moment we began worship this morning, we knew today was going to be a good day. Upon arriving at clinic, our team unloaded and set up like the well-oiled machine we have become. We brought our new docs up to speed, and they jumped right in like pros. To say they have personality would be an understatement (we’re looking at you Dr. Walker). Meredith was our MVP of the day, as she rose to the challenge of running the eye station. Even though she had some big shoes to fill (we miss you Brett), she did a great job providing glasses and ministering to her patients. In a nearby station, Abbey and Morgan visited a very different part of the body. When a patient talked about warts and pointed down yonder, they knew they were in trouble. However, they responded like the strong future physicians they are and seized the opportunity to perform a procedure on a very grateful gentleman. Outside, Scott continued his quest to turn the color of a tomato. He singlehandedly ran the children’s ministry, playing with the kiddos in the beating sun like a champ. Throughout the day, we continued evangelizing and praying for all of our patients. Today, most of those who came through the clinic attended the local church and professed faith in Christ. We enjoyed their encouragement, but were also able to have good conversations with several nonbelievers. Our new docs stressed the importance of taking care of our patients both spiritually and physically. As a result, we made an extra effort today to incorporate Gospel-centered conversation into patient care. Upon returning to SCORE, we went about our evening meeting, and Morgan had the opportunity to share her testimony. She was a tough act to follow, but Christina didn’t disappoint and delivered a powerful message on struggle and wrestling with God. This led to small group discussions with an emphasis on vulnerability and resting in God’s perfect plan. As the days wind down, we are savoring these opportunities to love on both our patients and each other. Adios amigos! Hasta manaña!
