Hey guys,
We had a great day today at the orphanage. We had patients that lined up as early as 4:30 this morning and travelled from all over. One family brought their 72 year old blind grandfather 2 hours by motorcycle to the clinic. We saw 218 patients (141 yesterday) and fitted 96 with glasses. We worked until it was pitch black in the clinic and sang old church hymns on the way back to the guesthouse. I think it is safe to say the team has really bonded when you can sing The Old Rugged Cross at the top of your lungs and not care how off key you are. Again, I’m impressed with what God is up to here. What a privilege it is to be a small part of it.

It was a great day today, our final day at the orphanage. While we continued to see a few patients in clinic two of our team members, Leeanna Copeland and Denise Williams lectured to a group of nursing students. It was very well received and they are interested in an ongoing relationship. It was hard to say goodbye to the orphans and their farewell singing brought tears to our eyes. Pray for our safe travel Saturday and for no delays at the airport! See you soon!
