The Green Beach Church
It was good to be back at Pastor Lito's church serving the fishing
community that surrounds his church. It was a slow and steady day, and
we were able to see all of the patients by early afternoon.
Our
pus buster, Kurt, and his team of helpers assisted Doc Arjel in the
third minor surgery of the trip. The team removed a strawberry sized
cyst from a very brave young lady- who let 30+ people watch the
procedure. The cyst from her knee was successfully removed and the
patient was sent home with strong antibiotics to fight off any
infection.
Several of the kids have come with us almost everyday of the medical mission. Mac Mac and Randy have been amazingly helpful
and are assisting in everything from translation, to cleaning ears, to
assisting in any surgical procedures. Both boys even came to the medical
mission the morning after their all night senior prom. What dedication!
We are so grateful for the incredible dedication and many hours that
the kids and staff are putting in!
We ended the night by sending
several of the high schoolers off to prom and then celebrating with a
birthday party for all the kids with February birthdays. We ate in the
rain, showed a sideshow of the trip, and had an ice cream party and card
and dice games (as many of the kids memorized our church verse Jude
24-25). Super fun!
