Today
we went to a village called Monte Cristy to do medical missions again. We saw around 160 patients today, and even
though that was a good bit less than yesterday, I think we were able to
diagnose and treat with better quality.
Many children had scabies and chicken pox, while many adults had reflux
or high blood pressure. The worst
incident today was a lady whose blood pressure was over 400. She also said she couldn’t sleep and was so
anxious. We asked her why, and she told us that she didn’t have a job and couldn’t
provide for her son. A summer-long theme
for me has been “Anything is possible with God,” so I encouraged our
translator, Lucio, (aka the man!) to share the Gospel with her and discuss our “anything
is possible with God” attitude. She just began to weep. We made sure she attended
the evangelism part of our care, and I really hope she found the strength in
Christ that she needed.
By
this time, I absolutely love every person on our team, and am beginning to make
really good friends with many of them. I
know these friendships will be lasting, and I look forward to the encouragement
and accountability I will receive from them to make sure I don’t forget what
God did in the DR.
