Our team woke up early today with great anticipation for our first day of clinic and started our day with worship, a devotion led by Mark, breakfast, and quiet time. We packed up our supplies and got on the road to set up clinic in Monte Christo for the day. During the morning, we provided medical care and physical therapy to residents of the Nursing Home run by the parish church. They were happy to see us and many have been provided continual care through CMMA’s year-round trips. It was amazing to speak with these people about their life stories and their profound faith in Jesus that has been colored by many years of wisdom from walking with Christ. We worked alongside translators who work with SCORE as well as the facility’s nurse, Elsie, and we truly could not have done it with their help speaking multiple languages such as Spanish and Creole. After finishing up our work with the residents, we ate a quick lunch and prepared for clinic in the afternoon for the church members. We had two medical stations run by Dr. George and Emily (PA-C) with the assistance of Mark, Carson, and Katie. We also provided physical therapy led by Leigh Ann and assisted by Christina P. and Lauren. Spencer and Kate helped run triage while Aaron worked alongside the local pastor in evangelism, talking with patients about the gospel and praying over each one as they exited the clinic. After completing our afternoon clinic work, we packed up our supplies and returned to SCORE for some rest and pool time before dinner. We finished out the evening with worship, a devotion from Dr. George, a trip to the gas station for ice cream and other treats, and a few more rounds of CodeNames. We are looking forward to another great day of clinic tomorrow in El Piñon!
