There were folks waiting for us ready to be seen by the doctor. Today went as expected. Lots of people - lots of faces - lots of sickness and bad teeth.
High notes of the day where babies and kids and connections. Today I got to see sweet tiny babies leave with a brand new hat made by Miss Mertie at church. Nothing better than some Tennessee grandma knitting to warm up a cold baby. It was cold up on top of that mountain.
Our new friend and interpreter, Ferdy, took the time to read the notes our Sunday school children and youth wrote for them. When Ferdy read a note from one of our kids that said, "I am praying for you," his mother sent Ferdy to find me and make sure I came home and told that child, "Thank you!" Thank you, Haley. The little boy you are praying for may be facing cataract surgery if we can find a way to fund it.
As usual the Cracker Jack medical staff made differences in many lives! From pulling teeth that were so bad they were causing other health problems, to making sure all the health based were covered they always shared God's holy love with big smiles. Even when it was hard. FYI bugs in ears, left unattended will create hard, immovable barriers to hearing.
This village was more open to us tall, strange looking Americans. Some of them even made friends.
But as usual...the day always ended with dulce. Candy!
