Tuesday's clinic was excellent

When we arrived this morning, there were about 75 people already waiting.  We were able to get the clinic setup in short order compared to Monday, since we knew where each set of footlockers should go and only had to position them and setup the room.  We did modify where the eyechart and the triage stations were located, to reduce glare on the charts and to open up an area that had been the source of some bottlenecks on Monday.  We also reconfigured the registration and evangelism areas for better traffic flow.  I have become a junior Pastor Kevin, he is still the master of making the trains run on time, but I am gaining on him with the help of Catherine.

We had a busy morning and had seen nearly 250 people by 11:30.  There was a bit of a lull during the afternoon, but we still managed to serve 527 patients out of 542 that came through the gate.  I am not nearly as dog tired as I was last night, since things are beginning to run like clockwork.  Occasionally, we are still letting a few too many people into the clinic at a time and it gets a little loud and chaotic.  I would rather have people wait a while longer outside and keep it more serene inside.  We still see the same number of people anyway; it just makes a world of difference in how calm it is.

We went over to the Junction Mall next door in the food court for chicken and chip (fries) and we had Italian Gelato handmade ice cream as a treat after dinner at a nearby shop.

Well, time to get a good night’s rest before doing it again.  Thanks everybody for following our progress and keep those prayers coming that we might continue to boldly spread the Gospel!
