Day 3 Awesome Start

The first day of the clinic is always hard and frequently the hardest. Today was hard, but we opened the clinic by ten and by lunch time when we needed to close it was running just fine. Sigh.

After lunch it was cruising like a well oiled machine, but then the local doctors, nurses and health professionals decided that they needed to leave at 3 or so. Double sigh. Anyway we survived and saw 270 or so patients. Not bad but no record for first day.

The better news was on the evangelistic front. David Shannon, Phil Waggoner, and Steven Kirby got their teams on the street fairly early. We had two baptisms during the day and three more after evening services. To God be the glory!!!

Our evening services consisted of English singing for 15 minutes, then a short period of Spanish singing and prayer. We then broke up into classes for the little children, a teenage girls class and a teenage boys class, a newcomers class for the two baptized during the day, and a preaching service for those who didn't go somewhere else. The three baptisms tonight were from the teenage girls class.

What an awesome start to the week! We needed that considering that we were unable to open the clinic on Sunday like we normally do.

Well, it is coming up on midnight and 5:15 comes early. Thanks for the prayers and encouraging words that have been left on our blog. Those give us the encouragement to continue on.

For those who are not first timers, see if things jogs your memory: "Good morning, good morning, good morning! It's time to rise & shine! Good morning, good morning, good morning, I hope you're feeling fine!" -- For some odd reason, I've erased the rest of Jack's song from my memory.:)

You're all in our thoughts many times a day, but most especially in our prayers.

Go forward, spread the Good News, & bring the lost and dying to Jesus! We love you guys!
Big, fat, MJ hugs to all-

Plant the seeds and let God give the increase. Bless all of you for what you are doing. May all that you do give glory and honor to God.
