Clinic in Grecia, El Salvador

This morning we had a quick breakfast together together and then drove out to clinic.

As we were waiting for everyone, I grabbed a few photos.

This is Marlene and Adrian who are the connections here in El Salvador. They are really nice and are wanting to help the people with medical needs but also with connecting with the local congregations to help them with their ministries.

Here, Marlene is standing with Raquel and Jennifer. Raquel is a nursing student and Jennifer is a medical student. They will be working with us this week in the clinics.

Gaspar found a place to sit in front of the Hotel Tolteka.

We drove for about 20 minutes until we came to a community called Grecia. We had clinic in a house with a garage. They were a very welcoming family that allowed us to totally redecorate their garage and living area outside of the house.

We set set up tables for a registration area, four consult areas, pharmacy and a area for prayer after the patients were finished with everything. It always takes a while to get organized and set up........but once it is done, the flow begins!!

We were able to get a few ore photos before the patients arrived.

Rebecca found a friend and she was very friendly! She posed for several photos!

The patients arrive but it is a slow process.

We saw 36 patients for the day.

One patient was an older gentleman that has very poor vision due to cataracts. We gave him the information to go to Clinica Ezull during the July trip. We hope that he will go and get the help that he needs. We realize how far the clinic is for him but also understand the benefit of the surgery.

I had the opportunity to try a new fruit today. It is called pitajaya. It is very bright red inside the shell. The red color will stain anything in touches....fingers, lips, teeth.......anything. It was sweet and good. Jennifer, Randy and Raquel show you their pitajaya.

It was a good day. It was good to get back to the hotel and shower after dinner. Tomorrow we will worship with the local congregations.
