It is hard to believe that we have completed the first week of our medical clinic. The changes that were made have made the clinic more organized and efficient. Our day begins at 7am and ends around 4 pm. Today we saw over 100 patients. We saw lots of those beautiful, sweet African babies. They are so precious, I would like to bring them all home with me.
I am not as tired as I usually am at the end of the week. I used to wonder if I could make another week. We worked 4 1/2 days instead of 4 this week. Tonight we all had dinner at one of the ROS' home. We had a mexican dinner and all the fixings, fresh homemade tortillas, wonderfully delicious apple pie and ice cream. Yes, I am really on a mission trip. God always blesses us more that we can imagine.
Our team includes 3 husbands of the clinic volunteers. What a blessing these men are to the staff that are here and to the children. And what an example they are to the paid workers!
As Americans we have so much to be grateful for, America has the best health care in the world yet we are not satisfied. I find it interesting to note that health care in Kenya is free ( they do have to buy their own medications.) Yet people come here for our care. We come here not with miracle drugs but with a desire to serve God. We really accomplish nothing without His loving touch.
Something that was shared here was how God protected the Village from the disruption and destruction caused by those protesting the last election in December 2007. The village was spared because they recognized the good that Rafiki is doing for the African children.
Tomorrow I will be going to some place I should stay away from....... Gemini .......... a jewelry store of precious stones.
Keep me in your prayers for wisdom, strength and safety.
May God Bless you all!
