Day 3 | Jerri Oney
We saw 264 patients today in about 7 hours! They came by the family - not one at a time. We practiced medicine like it's supposed to be-without fear of law suits and very little paper work. The people were so humble and appreciative and the children were just beautiful. Mark and Eric were medicine machines! Cindy had her "first spanish conversation" and she "understood both words!!!" She was trying to say thank you and said you're welcome instead! Oh - and ask her how well fiber one bars work - better yet ask her how 2 of them work!! We had a whale of a bus ride to the village where our clinic was - up the mountain @ 20mph and down @ 80 mph. It was a faith builder for sure. It was a good and productive day and the best part - 58 people accepted Christ as their savior - wow - praise the Lord for His awesome work!

Hello Church Family!
Today was a very good day! What a blessing it was to serve with our fellow brothers and sisters from GBC as well our new friends. The day went smoothly. Eric, in a personal best, filled over 600 prescriptions and even tutored Pastor Mark in the art and science of Pharmacy. (Eric says he shows real promise.) Over 230 people were ministered to with health care today and 58 of those received Christ as their Savior!! Our family size has increased and God has given that increase. We praise Him for the work that He has allowed us to participate in.

Day 3
Getting ready to head to our first day of clinic for the week. We were told to expect about 1500 patients over the duration of the week.
Had a very good day yesterday at a church service down towards the city. Pastor Mark delivered an excellent sermon. As you looked around the sanctuary you could see tears in the eyes of several people sitting there listening to the translation. I had a unique experience as I started to film portions of the service. As I was holding the videocamera, I looked out of the corner of the eye and I was being photographed while I was taping the service. I figured that was fair.
Yesterday there was a scheduled power outage in the afternoon. Apparently someone from our team turned on the shower, since there was no power, there was no water. After that, they forgot if they had turned it off or not. Yesterday evening, the entire first floor of our dorm was flooded including all of Pastor Mark and Darlene's clothes. We all pitched in and everyone grabbed a broom, mop, squeegee, shopvac, fans, and this morning they have a dry floor. There were clothes dryers available as well, so everything is good. I'll have to encourage Pastor Mark to elaborate on all of his experiences here. I see he happened to leave out one of the more memorable events of yesterday in his blog. :)
Headed out shortly, have a great day!

Day 3 | Mark Stump
Today is the first full day of clinics. Everyone is excited about meeting the people that we will be working with. The mission team has already gelled nicely and works together really well. It began yesterday with the morning worship service together held at a local church. I certainly enjoyed preaching and had a wonderful translator by the name of Samuel. I will be preaching this morning at the mission site to those who are attending the clinic. The local pastor said there could be as many as 1500 people for the week. Continue to pray for us that Christ will be shared and glorified. Oh yes. The weather is very nice.
