We had a great church service at the Children's Home, led by Bud and Laura Lenz. Their daughter, Rachel, led worship on her guitar with two of her brothers accompanying her-one on guitar and the other on bongo drums. It was beautiful! And, they even sang my favorite song in Spanish, The More I Seek You (I admit I kept one eye open so I could video record it-lol!)
I briefly got to visit with some of the children that live there while they gave me a tour their classroom and bedrooms (some bunks were three beds high!). They even have pet birds and bunnies. Some of the children performed a dance for us! The students on our team played a game of volleyball, and then it was time for a lunch of spaghetti-yum! Afterward we had orientation. Each member of the team had a chance to share how they ended up on this trip. It was quite amazing, to say the least!
Two of the med students have gotten sick so far, so please keep them in prayer. But as for a praise report. . .Amber made it here safely this morning! She is a honey. . . a 31-year-old PA from Texas who just spent 6 years practicing in Maui. The weekend after we get back she will be headed to Alaska to work for the summer. She is following the Lord and He's taking her on quite the adventure! Seems like once you go on a trip like this, it gets in your blood!
Since most of the team is focused on the medical clinics, I don't quite feel like I've found my grove yet. Hopefully, being at the orphanage tomorrow will give me a better sense of direction. Please pray for all that to come together.
Mom and Dad have been sorting meds with the team in preparation for tomorrow's first day of clinics. As soon as they get back, it will be off to dinner. (I will try to post some pictures soon!)
Until tomorrow,
Megan
