Let us rejoice and be glad in it..No mater what you can rejoice in it. Dear ones Thank you so much for your love, prayers, support and lots of encouragement. Without for this would not be possible. The day went well at the mission with us arriving at 8:30am and getting back to our hotel about 6:00 or so. The people here and at the mission are wonderful people. They are gracious and kind and very appreciative. At the clinic Dr. George sees the patients and Georgia interprets. A young Dr. Carlos from outside of Lima is here also. His parents live in Tarapoto. He is very kind and caring. Kathyrn and Gladys work at the table where the medicine is distributed. Gladys is our wonderful mission guide and also interprets. She also fixes our delicious lunch and brings it to the mission with us. Kathy check their temperature, pulse and also does diabetic checks. Edna is taking their BP and I write it down. All of the 20 volunteers are very helpful and kind. They help help push Edna wheel chair. They help with the people that are their calling their names when they are ready to see Dr. George or Dr. Carlos. They help us in so many special ways. Their pastor is a very special man that always opens with prayers and singing praises to the Lord. The volunteers without their help this mission would be impossible. Ruth continues to do BP and to help with the dentist. Cathy the dentist is extracting teeth and doing check ups. Cathy is from Texas like me. Rita also interprets for Cathy and all of us. The Lord has made this place and everyone here. The people are such a blessing. We pray together and also help one another. We leave them in God's hands and the leave us as well.
The picture is of the main source of transportation in Tarapoto. This is how we return to our hotels with our medicine bags in back. They go very fast and we pray while we ride home! Peace to you, Jane
How it lifted my day today to finally get to check the blog and see three familiar faces smiling at the wheelchair clinic. Last I saw Juan Carlos and his mother he could not smile and hardly respond and she was exhausted...that was 1.5 years ago!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful it is to read your accounts of the ministry to them and vice versa! Hugs to the team. Surely I wish that the Toothfairy was at the dental clinic even in plain-clothes...coming to think of it, I think she and with a team!
It was important that I was in Atchison at the Amelia Earhart Festival. Lou, curator of the AE Birthplace Museum set me up with all the VIP and many, many connections were made that continue AE's work on world peace and justice.
Blessings,
Your team mate in spirit and sister in Christ...Helen
