Thursday at Monte Sion

Today was our last clinic and, as it so happens, we were at the same location as our first clinic: Monte Sion Baptist Church in Cajamarca. We were told to expect around 100 but as we have learned in our several days in Peru, that means to really expect about 200. All told we provided care for 245 people, including a few that came through the line twice.

It was a fairly uneventful day, we got the same great service from everyone who worked. For those of you who know Osmir, he and his family came by today and were given some medicines to help him. David gave him a soccer ball also, which made him extremely happy. Doyne collected memory cards from cameras and had CDs made of all our pictures, one for everyone. The few that I've seen are wonderful and I'm sure none of us can wait to show them off.

The trip totals as of yesterday were erroneous. Someone (David) forgot to carry the one when adding and left off 100 people. Here are new totals:

1111 people seen (give or take a couple). Over 3500 prescriptions filled. About 1000 Bibles passed out. 16 decisions made by Peruvians--all of whom were led to Christ by Raul either yesterday or today.

It has been a very good and productive trip. We have much to be thankful for, not the least of which is the prayers offered on our behalf by those at home. We will be returning to Lima early tomorrow morning and then to the States late tomorrow night.
Flight information for those who want it: Delta flight #274 Lima to Atlanta; Departing 1230am Friday, Arriving 830 am Saturday...Delta flight #1195 Atlanta to Little Rock; Departing 1110am, Arriving 1145am.

P.S. Sorry about the pictures. I was unable to find a way to post them using the computers at Villa Milagro. Keep tuned into the blog next week for links to pictures from this trip as well as information about the next group arriving Monday July 23.
