I wouldn't have given us much chance of a good day at that point, but it usually dries out pretty quickly after the rain stops. It stayed pretty muddy but we made due.
This is Alex with his new friends. All of the young men of the congregation are first class and have a great sense of humor. They need to because I fire each of them three times a day or more just to keep them on their toes. It's a running joke.
We begin each day with some wonderful a Capella praise and African songs. It is very moving, the harmonies are delicious.
Bill, Alex and I each gave a personal testimony to people in the tents waiting to get into the clinic on Wednesday. Today, Bishop Bakari Kea asked her to share her gift of music with the clinic and the whole place came to a stop as she did a full on rendition of two verses of Amazing Grace. Thunderous applause followed.... Bishop is filming it with his phone and I'm sure she's gone viral by now and a recording contract can't be to far behind!
Alex helped this Muslim man get some pretty powerful glasses and he was very happy with the results.
This patient got some glasses with some of our most powerful lenses and was overjoyed!
The day actually turned out about the same as the previous two day's clinics with around 320 patients being seen. I've never seen such regular numbers, but we did have a Muslim holiday, rain and other complications that probably held our numbers down. But we did serve everyone the Lord brought us and that's the best goal to have.
Well, it's been a long day and we have the giant task of running a clinic tomorrow, performing an inventory on our supplies and then packing everything up to be shipped across town to our storage facility. Bill and I will also be packing up for our extra days here on wildlife safaris, we head out Saturday morning for Samburu, a national game park with nearly 700 species of birds. I guess I had better get to bed for some rest, I'll need it! Thank you Jesus for such a good clinic to this point!
