The Clinic ends with our Biggest Day Yet

 We had breakfast with several other teams that were ready to head out into the countryside for their vision clinics and for their malaria net projects too.  We said our fond farewells and wished blessings on each others missions.  We arrived at the clinic with about 40 people already waiting for us.  We weren't sure what the day would bring, but I knew from past experience that Kenyans are a last-minute people.  We saw great numbers of patients all morning, but because we had fine tuned things during the week, it was manageable and a steady drip, drip, drip of patients added up to around 350 people at noon.  By the time we needed to begin shutting down around 3:30, the 500th patient was on the premises.  We finished strong and ended up with 547 patients on the day, 97 cataract surgery referrals for the week and about 2360 total patients for the week.  They were all told about Jesus and each and every one of them was prayed over by someone on the team.  Thank you, Jesus!

We got back to Little Daughters and showered right away, since our luggage with any liquids in it can not be taken on the train and we need to load our van with our other bags tonight.  We have a storage room at Little Daughters where whatever we are not taking with us to Amboseli will stay until we return Tuesday afternoon.  We are taking a high speed train to Emali and will breakfast at a nice restaurant there while we wait for our drivers with the luggage.  We will have a Land Cruiser and a four wheel drive van, each with pop-up tops for the safaris at Amboseli.  We will complete the drive to the game park, get checked in for the 3 days we will spend there, hit our lodge for lunch and then do an afternoon safari until sunset. Dinner will follow that.

I am going to work on both clinic and game park pictures upon my return to Austin and will be posting several on-line albums of the best photos, so pleae be patient.  I also will be publishing stories here for the foreseeable future, since it is so hard in the midst of the work we have done.

Everyone is happy, healthy and looking forward to our next adventure.  The clinic was a spiritual high for all of us and now we get to enjoy God's creation at a world-famous game park. To God be the Glory!
