Clinic in Lemoa

OK, we are really having a run of bad luck with the trucks. We are waiting for Kemmel to bring brake pads for one of the trucks and this morning as Marcos was parking another truck, he heard a leak from the back rear tire. We unloaded the truck very quickly and he went to get the tired repaired. Can you guess how much it cost to get the tired plugged?

We had a busy clinic and it was a good one. There were 18 medical patients but I am not sure how many dental patients.

One young man came today with problems of hearing. He told me that he had been drinking a lot of alcohol but had not drank for 20 days. He said that he was really trying to change his life. His name is Carlos and he has a wife and two sons. We talked for a while and he told me that he did not go to church anywhere. We talked some more and I know when I have said about all I can :) I could tell that he wanted to talk some more so I went and got Gaspar and we talked some more with Carlos. He asked that someone from the Church of Christ in Chichi visit him in his house. We ended with prayer and then Gaspar got all the information he needed so someone could make that visit.

It is sad but so true........that sometimes people have to hit a "low" before they open their hearts and minds to Jesus and His teaching. When people feel good and have everything they need, many times they do not see the need for God. It is in time of troubles and weakness that we look for something to give us strength.......something to pull us through. Paul talks about this in 2 Corinthians 12. Paul said that when he was weak, he was strong. During weakness, we look for help and strength from God who delivers and therefore we become strong.

I think some people from the Church in Chichi visited Carlos this afternoon. Please pray that his heart will remain soft and he will be interested in studying The Bible more.

The plugging of the tire cost $1.33...........I knew you would not be able to sleep until you knew :)
