Dia Sies

Hola missions team!

Lunch time again. I am so glad! I am starving! I only had one little roll for breakfast. This morning has been busy, but has gone fast. I can't believe its the last day. My body is ready to go home, but my spirit is not. I know God will continue to provide for these people once we are gone.

The afternoon will be crazy I think. We are closing the clinic early to pack up and spend some time with everyone who has made this possible. This will not give us much time after lunch to see people.

Well, its 5:00 and the vision clinic is officially packed up. The pharmacy and the lens dispensing are still packing. My heart is heavy with the people we were unable to see. It is glad many times over for the people we did see! Thank you Father for all!

Its now 10:05. The bus was supposed to be here at 10:00. Welcome to Peru! We managed to get out of the church. The people surrounded us. It was so bitter sweet. We came back to the hotel, packed and showered. No more showers for at least 42 hours.

At 8:00 we left the hotel to go to dinner. We had Chinese again, which at first sounded bad, but ended up being good. After dinner a few of us went around the corner to our favorite little dessert shop. They were out of coconut ice cream, so I had the chocolate coconut pie. So very yummy!

God was very evident today. We were out of any prescription over +2.75. This is not very strong for older people who have had very little eye care all their lives. So when I would go from the 2.50 to the 3.00 I would say "this one is gonna be it". So many times they would pick the weaker strength. It was such a God thing.

There have been so many awesome stories this week. If you have never been involved in a mission trip before, think seriously about it.

We are on the bus and moving! The bus was supposed to leave at 10:15. Its only 30 minutes late. Not too bad. I'm about to take my sleeping pill and hopefully not open my eyes again for at least 8 hours. Good night!

Hasta Luego,

Heather
