The post office has nothing on us. It rained and we still did children's and adult evangelism outside. Unfortunately, the rain seemed to dampen attendance at the medical brigade, so it was a slower day than usual. Although we didn't see as many people, we are sure that we saw the people we were supposed to see.
When you see the medical, optical and dental needs and when you hear the spiritual and emotional needs, it's easy to understand why we do this trip every year. The people are beautiful, especially the kids, and their needs are unending. It is a privilege to be here to serve them if only for a week.
When you look at the pictures below, you will probably look for your family member or friend. But please also note the Honduran translator that is helping each of them. We could not do this trip without the translators, and they are wonderful Christian men and women. Say a prayer of thanks for them too.
Steve Potter, in this special note to his church, Trinity Lutheran in Lisle, Illinois captures what most of us have experienced this week. He writes: "There are no words to express the excitement I have experienced on this medical-evangelism trip. It's Friday night and we are done with our medical brigades. We have all served in many different ways and have attended to the needs of almost 1,700 people. It is so exciting to see God at work and to see the results. We will be back in the States on Saturday, and we hope to share our stories with you soon."
Thank you to all our readers who have supported us in prayer this week. It has been a blessing and we invite you to join us in person next year. Bendiciones!
