El Salvador 2011 Day 4a

We have some guest blogger tonight. First McClain Richardson writes:

Hola! Well before we get started lets get to know each other, my name is McClain Richardson. I am a member of the Mt. Juliet Church of Christ, and this is my first trip to El Salvador. This week so far has been GREAT and its only Tuesday. I have been working in the clinic the whole time we have been here. I have met many new people, and have loved every single one of them. This week there have been seven baptisms and five restorations. Many other people have been studying to be baptized.
A typical day here starts at about 6:30 for breakfast and morning devotional, then we all start moving chairs to the clinic and class areas. The youth evangelism teams and door knockers leave at about 9:00. That is when the fun begins, the clinic door opens and we start seeing patients. I have been teaching a class of basic hygiene, to reinforce getting clean and stopping the spread of germs. My favorite part of this job is seeing all the many faces of the people here. I have seen more babies in one group of people than I have ever seen before! When I first arrived I hardly knew any Spanish, but I have picked up a lot and can now help translate for the clinic.
Many locals have volunteered to work with the doctors and nurses to help break down the language barrier. I have grown close to one man named Fausto Sanchez. He was originally my translator but now been helping at the gate to see what the people are here for. He heard about us when he ran into David Shannon and Phil Waggoner at the Wendy's on Saturday. Many of us got a chuckle when he referred to Phil as Dr. Phil and a few people said they watched that show. But no, he was talking about our Phil! Mrs. Tracie and I set him straight real quick. Fausto is not a Christian but has been studying with Mr. David and has shown interest in becoming a child of God.
I hope this trip turns many people to God and brings people that knew God but have strayed away back to Him. Please continue praying for us and the souls we hope to save throughout the rest of our trip!
-McClain
