Day Two

Day 2's first assignment was to get the evangelistic workers in the field and get the clinic running. Both assigments were completed sucessfully.

It takes a lot of work by the team to get the pharmacy, eye glass hut, nurses, registration and dcotors all going. We were blessed with 4 local Docs and some folks the Alcalde (mayor)provided for translators and crowd control. That allowed some of our medical staff to help in the pharmacy and dental areas. Our dental tent doubled as a surgery room.

As always seems to happen we got things pulled together and running in not so long a time. before you knew it-docs were treating patients, writing scripts, eye doctor was issuing glasses, nurses screening and getting histories and complaints. The little children were being taught Bible stories.

Our biggest flow problem in the clinic is having enough translators to keep the nurses busy and then the doctors. We will get that pace picked up and the docs will keep up. The next thing will be pharmacy. We have some great experienced people there and they will keep up. "Stack 'em high and sell them cheap. I don't know how they do it." is a regular motto there.

I will get the counts from the different teams in the morning and thus will have a better feel for the evangelistic efforts, but they have been busy.

Services were in a building quite large in the middle of the town. (We have the clinic at park/sports center a little ways away). Nice big room. A little short on chairs, but a good space for children's classes and teen classes. A little bleed over on the sound from the teen class, but we will do fine.

Dinner was served at house a few blocks away. This is the same house that the translators and preachers are staying. WE are off to a great start in eating as well.

Things are going so well that it is scary. Weather good. Hotel good. Food good.

Some negatives are staying somewhere other than where the translators are and having the team split between two hotels. But flexiblity prefails with this group.

It is a little late and breakfast is served at 5:30 so I better close out this daily report.

Please continue to pray for this work and the safety of our team. Take care of our families at home.
