Wednesday

This week has had its share of difficulties.  Today one of our workers in the eye clinic, Rex was sick and another medical team worker, Jean, had to stay at the hotel as well.  When we got to the clinic,Roland took a bit of a fall and might have injured a rib.  Tonight they are all feeling better, and will hopefully be back at it tomorrow.  Keep us in your prayers.

10 Suitcases arrived today.  Nine of them belonged to our team and so we only lack six suitcases now.  One suitcase arrived that belonged to one of the team members from Tennessee.  They were here last week.  

Today we saw over 220 people in the clinics and had four more baptisms.  We were moving people around a lot today working to fill in gaps and help where things were backed up as much as we could.  Joel preached tonight and did a great job.  Aaron presented a word of encouragement after dinner tonight that I think was just what the team needed.

God is using us in great and little ways that are all making a big difference.  The church at Ann’s Grove is a young one with a lot of energy and excitement.  They enjoy learning and singing new songs and their young people have started helping out in a lot of areas at the clinic.  Josh Key has been doing Bible studies non-stop all week and its fun watching the Guyanese teenagers always wanting to sit in on studies with him.  One young man named Moy was baptized yesterday and today spent the entire day helping us run the Bible studies and when Bill had to take a break this afternoon, Moy jumped right in and kept people moving and going where they needed to be. 

Today’s prayer requests: Roland and the health of our team, 6 more suitcases, the Ann’s Grove church, for the eight who have been baptized, and thanks for the 9 delivered suitcases.
