Wrapping up and headed home

Today is Thursday and we are packed up and headed home today.
The last day of clinic and Bible Storying was a HUGE SUCCESS! First, Gary and Jennifer were able to rejoin our team yesterday afternooon. It was too late for them to see patients, but it was so great to have them back with us. Janie made it to Lima, but she had fluid in her lungs and was admitted to the hospital in Lima and into ICU. Gary spoke with her doctor there and Gary says she is in a good hospital and that the doctor is a good doctor. The last word I heard is that she will be in ICU at least until tomorrow, so she will not be returning to the US with us tomorrow. She will be alright, it will just take a few days for her to recover. Thank you so much for all the prayers for her, I know they are very appreciated.
Now, onto the clinic and Bible Storying update. We were able to see many eye and dental patients and the pharmacy gave out lots of adult and children´s vitamins.
Bible Storying: Tuesday night, we had a miscommunication with our translator and she never arrived to translate for us. I had learned my stories in Spanish, so I told mine but after 45 minutes of speaking Spanish, I was so tired and we didn´t go any further. BUT 36 people came that night and we invited them back on Weds to hear the rest of the stories. Here comes the exciting part--- Wednesday night we did the rest of the Bible Storying (I had stopped at Cain and Able) and had a great response. 6 people accepted Jesus including our translator!! We got the names and addresses so the local evengelical church here can follow up. Can I just say that that more than made up for all the cold, dirt, bad food, tiredness etc!! We were all walking on clouds on the way back to the hotel, freezing cold clouds, but clouds nonetheless.
There have been many challenges on this trip, more I think than any I have been on and this is my 5th trip to Peru in 4 years, but God is so faithful and good and it is so true that if we are obedient to Him, He provides above and beyond anything we can imagine.
Thanks so much again for all the prayers and we´ll see you when we get back to the US tomorrow! Yay!!!
