Dia Cinco

Hola Missions Prayer Team!

Wow! What an amazing day! I am so exausted. My legs and feet are so tired. I'm so ready for it to be over, but I hate to leave.

I worked in the pharmacy again today. We filled prescriptions for 81 people this morning before 12:15. We got out a bit early and walked a few blocks to the local market to do some shopping. We had an amazing lunch then headed back to finish up.

The vision clinic saw 12 school children this morning and 14 after lunch. They were so cute dressed in their uniforms. We took pictures of them in their new glasses and printed them out for them. The eye guys saw 111 patients today!

We just got finished eating chicken tamalies. These were really good. We had a ceremony at the church and they presented us with gifts and thanked us for coming. Our time here has been so great. I needed a reminder of what life is all about. We get so caught up in "the daily grind" that we forget our fellow man. Our lives revolve around us and our problems.

We ended up seeing 168 medical patients today. Not too shabby for a short day. There were also 46 salvations.

Well, its 10:39 and all our meetings are done and the bags are packed. The bus leaves at 8 am in the morning. We will drive several hours to another town to have lunch and do some shopping on the way back to Guayaquil. We should arrive in Guayaquil around 7 pm tomorrow.

The totals for the week are: Medical 766, Vision 830 eyes 415 patients and most amazing and importantly 204 salvations. The really neat thing is that the OM team has been praying for 200 salvations. What a testimony to the power of prayer! God even threw in 4 extra! Its so great to have 204 new brothers and sisters in Christ. I am so blessed to have been a part of it!

Since it is late I will say goodnight. I hope all is well back home. I will see you all again soon.

Hasta Luego,
Heather
