Wonderful day today. I shadowed the Doctor all day and got a first-hand look at how a medical missions team works. Many of the people needed help, and they were very appreciative of the work that the medical team did for them. Lots of children to see and patients to treat, and though by the end of the day we were tired, it was a rewarding experience. 100% certain that I want to be a Pediatrican. LOVED all that we did today and I learned a lot, for example, how to do blood pressure. The team worked well together, sending LOTS of people from the waiting lines to the doctors to the lenses distribution and then down to the pharmacy. The children come to play by the 100s so Clayton and the other activities/children's corner people did a wonderful job keeping them busy and showing them Gods love through attention and care.
Excited about visiting the Women's Clinic/Shelter tomorrow. There are so many needs here, and you feel so good at night falling asleep and knowing that what you did that day helped someone, even if it was only one person.
This group has taken me under its wing and treated me like another member of the team. Glad to be here and priveleged to work with this wonderful group of people.
