Today
we started our day with our daily devotion where we talked about being created
in God’s image. There was an emphasis on
being God’s “masterpiece”. After this we
headed to a local doctor’s clinic where we accepted 40 people and had them go
through 5 stations. The first was where
we took their temperature, weighed them, and learned why they had come in that
day. The second station was where we took
their blood pressure and blood sugar.
The next station was where we prayed with them before they went upstairs
to see the doctor, which was the fourth station. The fifth station was small pharmacy where we
handed out meds that we could or had access to.
We saw many different people with many different conditions. It was very exciting interacting with the
patients before they saw the doctor because we knew all of their symptoms and
could try and diagnosis them in our heads.
It was very reassuring about the education we have received when our
diagnosis matched the doctors. Dr. Carl
definitely showed a heart for God and his love for the people of Haiti as he examined
every patient thoroughly for a long period of time and treated their conditions. It was amazing to see how much good and help
just one man was bringing to the people of Haiti and it was definitely a privilege
to help him out today. Unfortunately Tori became sick today with a little 24
hour stomach bug. We pray that she is able to recover quickly and join us
tomorrow.
