4-30-2014 Yet another new high total for the clinic on Wednesday

Our day started as usual with breakfast at Rosa Mystica and the short ride to the clinic.  By the time noon rolled around, we had only seen about 250 people, well behind the pace that had been set on Tuesday.  And, after lunch, there was a definite lull when things ground to a halt for a while.  I would have been surprised if we had gotten to 400 patients for the whole day if I had to judge at that point. My attitude about the number of people we see on any given day at the clinic is that we not worry so much about the number, but that we love and serve each person that God brings us that day.  It was to everyone’s surprise that a small but steady stream of people began to come to the clinic and by the time we shut down, we had served 553 people, 8 more than Tuesday.  As I have noted here before, a well run clinic almost seems as if it’s not really all that busy.  Our total for the week now is at 1548.  The interview that Emmanuel and I had done for the radio station on Monday began airing this morning, Helen was out with the bullhorn once again and word of mouth probably helped us as well.  Our team all tried working in different facets of the clinic and things continued to roll.  Thanks be to God!

We are about to leave for our nice dinner at the Brazilian steak house, with Catherine, Shara and our driver Steven.  And, Howard, Martha and I will be having dinner at Catherine’s mother’s home tomorrow night, a real blessing since we showed her and her family around Texas 2 years ago during Catherine’s son’s graduation.  More to follow as I have the time.
