I just had the most amazing lunch of guacamole, rice and soup! Wow I'm full! I'm in bad need of a nap! I have been working in the pharmacy this morning filling prescriptions. It is way more busy than in the vision clinic. We filled prescriptions for 84 people between 9:00am and 1:30pm. Each person has at least 3 prescriptions. The vision clinic did 47! Wow!
It's nearly 2 and I have to head back to work soon. I'm not sure if I will be in the pharmacy or the vision clinic this afternoon. The weather is beautiful again today!
It is now 7:07. We are waiting to be fed dinner. I ended up working the afternoon in the pharmacy as well. Here are the final numbers: 94 vision, 174 medical & 59 salvations! We truly do serve a God of multiplication!
Ok, so dinner was not great at all. It was like tamalies, but just corn and maybe onion and they were kind of sweet. Yuck. I managed to eat one, but I will be snacking at the hotel for sure. We headed back early, because Eddie is feeling bad. His head is all stopped up and his nose is running. I have been pumping him full of drugs, but its not helping much. Please continue to pray for him as this trip is really taking a toll on him. Satan is trying his best to stop what is going on here, but we won't let him win.
The other prayer requests I have:
Tabitha Moore our team leader. She is doing such an awesome job leading us on her first mission trip as a leader. She is patient and loving, but she is really being tried. Some team members are not listening well even after being repeatedly told. And being in charge means she hears her name every 2 minutes.
Seth, an Ecuador team member, is also having a hard time. He is in charge of handing out tickets for people to see the doctor. This makes him either the good guy, or the bad guy if you don't get a ticket. There are also issues of people not coming in the morning when there ticket is for and wanting to get in in the afternoon. Its hard to turn people away, but you have to if you want to keep your sanity. We can't work round the clock.
Since I missed the nightly meeting I'm not sure if there is anything else that needs special prayer. I also don't have any special stories to tell you. Not too many special things go on in the pharmacy. The one really neat thing we have is a photo printer. It is great to see the parents and children light up when you hand them a photo of themselves or their children.
Its hard to believe there are only 2 days of clinic left. We will spend Friday driving back, then some more work and a little sight seeing on Saturday before we fly back Saturday night. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful team backing me up. I love to share my experiences with you! May God bless you all richly for your support!
Hasta Manana,
Heather
