Hola familia y amigos!!
Today was a very special day in clinic! We returned to the John 3:16 church (the church we went to on Sunday for worship service). We set up our usual clinic flow but with a surprise: THE CHILDREN'S MINISTRY HAD ROOM TO BE INSIDE OUT OF THE HOT SUN!!!!! PRAISE!!! The kids were laughing all day and you could tell they were just having a blast learning about the gospel! The rest of the clinic ran pretty slow and smoothly! This came as a blessing in disguise since everyone was still exhausted from yesterday's clinic. We've noticed that it's getting easier and easier to set up clinic and break it down after it's done. We've all worked so long as a team that we're the most efficient machine! One notable moment today came from a student whose patient came in complaining of acid reflux (if I recall correctly). The student worked up the patient for this complaint and was about to send them off to the pharmacy station to get their medicines when the patient said something was bothering her in her ear. Being the awesome student they are, she looked in the patients ear and noticed there was a cancerous lesion in her ear canal. At our small clinic, there's nothing we can do to biopsy or treat a cancer lesion. So the patient would have to go to a hospital to have it treated. But the student didn't stop there-- she walked this patient over to the Evangelism station and explained the situation in detail so that she could be prayed for. The students on this trip consistently remind me how great God's love and mercy is and that this experience isn't just about the medicine we're learning-- it's about doing His work and spreading His good news through the gospel. When we arrived back to the SCORE hotel, we had a wonderful dinner and joined the rest of the ministries for SCORE night. This is a night to join the other groups staying in the hotel and to worship and share testimonies. It was wonderful to hear about the other groups share their experiences in the DR and to sing worship with the SCORE leaders!! Afterwards, there were some tables set up for people to buy some local goodies and I'm sure everyone was tempted by the cupcakes and Dominican coffee! Only two more days left in the clinics! My how this time has passed!! Please pray that our last two days are just as incredible as our other days and that we travel safely! And praises to those who were able to be helped in clinic and prayers for those who have yet to be helped!
