The clinic in operation this morning.
The clinic was another success today and, compared to Monday morning startup growing pains, it went well from the start. We saw about 360 patients. Yesterday we referred 18 for cataract surgery and 10 today. I was able to roam a bit more as the leader should, but still spent about half of my time in the triage station, directing traffic and praying individually over maybe 100 or more people, Muslims and Christians alike. We had two people join the congregation, thank you Jesus! I worked with both of them.Ken and Elizabeth are still missing their luggage. The EU is strict about getting reimbursed for losses due to misrouting baggage. It will be interesting to see how our claims are handled.
We are all well and have been able to purchase more clothes and other essentials to replace what we needed from our bags. It's hard to feel sorry for yourself when we are dealing with hundreds of people in the slum who have peace and joy in situations we can't begin to understand.
That's about all for now. More to follow. Please keep praying for a safe and effective mission as we continue our work here. Blessings everybody!
Good to hear things going well. Praying for the continued success of your mission
