Monday, Monday,
Just love that day!! Up at 5ish to be ready to start at 6. Devotions and prayer to get the Spirit moving in our hearts. A great breakfast to nourish our bodies, coffee to start the engines and brain function. A bus ride that rivals any thing the amusement parks have, not to worry folks our divers are experts! A brief stop to pick up translators and Drs. For some this is a reunion of friends, and some new faces. Every one jumps in to get optical ready, dentistry up and tools out, pressure cuffs and meds. We have a time of prayer with the church volunteers and then its " Lets get to Work". Many come from long distance by foot to see a medical, optical, or dentist Dr. Kids have a fun time with the children's ministry. The gospel story is told that matches their new His story bracelets. Team A had a crew paint a room in a house. Looked very nice and bright in a off white. After a very eventful day we load up and bus back to the hacienda. Well traffic is the same every where, a lot of it. Construction is every where here too! Team B was stuck in a traffic jam that took them 2 hours to make it back. Threw the schedule off just a bit. A time of debriefing after dinner to tell stories of the day, things to pray for, and a shift in where we are assigned tomorrow so we all get to experience a different job.
Sleep tight, its too cold for the bed bugs to bite!
