Hi Everyone
We finished up the clinic at Barrio Panamericano today. Gary Mennie got sick last night- stomach stuff and wasn´t able to come in the morning, so the triage nurses saw some patients with general stuff, you know back pain and we gave out vitamins etc. Gary was well enough to work in the afternoon and was planning on coming back to clinic after lunch when Janie Hodgins, one of our team members got very sick. The oxygen in her blood has dropped very low. Gary and one of our nurses, Jennifer Sanderfur along with one of our translators - Jerry- took Janie to Juliaca tonight. They are spending the night there and then Jerry and Janie will fly to Lima and Gary and Jennifer will rejoin the team tomorrow. One of the missionaries that lives in Lima will meet Janie´s flight and take over her care. That is the plan. Please pray that Janie will improve over night and be able to board the flight to Lima in the morning without any problems and that she and Jerry will have a safe flight to Lima and that she will get the care she needs in Lima. Also pray that Gary and Jennifer will have a safe trip back to Ayaviri to rejoin the team. They rode a bus to Juliaca and are riding a bus back tomorrow.
We are doing Bible storying in three areas this evening, we have been able to move storying team assignments around so that we can still cover all three sites. Gene Marsh will be at one site by himself with a translator, so pray especially for him.
We are thankful to God that Gary was here to take care of Janie and that we had a nurse to travel with him and help with her care. So many things have happened on this trip that I know satan is using to try to take our focus off our work, but we are not going to let that happen, and we appreciate your prayers so much.
I will update you tomorrow or sooner as I hear word about Janie.
Thanks again for your prayers.
