We spent another great day in Yagma village. With everyone's help, we treated and medicated with prescriptions that we filled in house about 80 patients. We had lots of parasites, dysentary, STD's, pregnancies, one small child that was paralyzed on one side, and many aches and pains.
The people are starving for doctors and just attention. They seem to love to see a white face, and the children love to play with us. John McClung and Fr. Ed bought 3 soccer balls and had a couple of hours of kicking the ball around at various intervals. When we came back at the close of the day, the balls had disappeared into homes, but John started a game of kick the can, and the excitement exploded all over the place.
Tomorrow, we go back to Yagma, and Thursday and Friday to Zabre, the village Saint John's has been sponsoring. I am trying to put up more photos, but bandwith is a premium. Will write more tomorrow.
God bless,
Fr. Ed

That's a pretty scary picture of McClung with a stethoscope. At least he has 2 of the 3 ends in the correct place!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear all is going well. May the Lord show you His glory in a new way in this strange place doing His work each day (Ex 33:18, Jn 14:21). And may your dear "white faces" continue to shine His love upon each person you meet. We are praying for each one of you daily. Prayers for you at Community Bible Study today, too, and prayers and candles lit in the columbarium. We love you all.
