Yesterday we had a really incredible day as a team in San Felipe. We arrived to Bacilios house to set up the medical clinic. There were hundreds of people there waiting for us. After a crazy time getting everything set up we were ready. We had 4 Dr from the local community who volunteered their time. We saw 306 patients yesterday and we were able to provide medication for everyone. God is so good.
A few of us women stayed behind to clean up after the clinic while the rest of the team went to play soccer with the people in the village. I heard it was an amazing time of bonding as they kicked the soccer ball around the field. Canada vs El Salvador! I am sure it surprises no one that El Salvador whooped our butts. We held our own and the final score was 10-9. This is what missions trips are about. Working alongside the local people, building houses, handing out medication to sick, hanging out with the poor, the downtrodden. I can see why Jesus did this. I know why this is how He spent His time on earth hanging out with the poor, It is amazing and it is the greatest gift He has given my life.
You have such an amazing servant heart, Valerie!! You are so inspiring! I love experiencing El Salvador through your eyes.. The second best to actually being there with you all!! I am so blessed to call you my sister in Christ. Have a safe trip home!! Love and prayers, Marlene
