​It’s game day!

Day three is officially OVER!!!!! Once again, we had an early wakeup call. Some say it’s a miracle our team of over 20 to show up on time for our 6:15am meetings– I think it’s because we are just so excited!!! Once we finished our morning devotional, we carb-loaded on pancakes and french toast to have energy to get us through the day (or at least until lunch). This time, we ventured into the village of Pajarito. It was really fascinating passing by other local villages seeing kids play baseball and many happy locals waving at our bus. We unloaded fast in anticipation to efficiently treat many patients. The confidence in our hands continues to grow everyday– all thanks be to God! This being said, we treated over 40 patients. Additionally, 8 people prayed to receive Christ today! One of the most meaningful moments of the day included the team placing our hands on the pastor’s brother and praying for their church and community.

I don’t mean for these blog posts to keep getting shorter and shorter, but golly, we are getting more exhausted by the minute. Nothing has felt better than placing our head on our pillows after a long day of work knowing that we were able to use our gifts from God to impact others. Tomorrow is our last day in clinic. Such a bittersweet day knowing that we came to this country to serve others but it is fulfilling knowing that our work was accomplished. I will let you in on one little secret from this trip– we stay up late every night having this very competitive game night. I mean so competitive we even have Mardon out here vibing with us. Christina has to come out and tell us to go to bed. We play this game called ‘Code Names’. Every night we have this little rivalry of boys versus girls. Personally, I am for the girls but the score is tied right now. So, when we come back and you hear some of the boys complaining about losing… just know you heard it here first, it was a fair-and-square win!!

Blessed be God forever,
