We usually go out to the villages as a group on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays — three days a week. Shawn, Julio, and Rachel also visit pastors and work with the children and children’s ministry leaders on Thursdays.
We were so excited for Dad and our new intern, Natalie, to join us this past Wednesday. It was a 12-hour day from the time we opened our eyes until we stepped back into our house — especially tough since we had just flown back from the States and arrived home at 9:00 a.m. the day before! 😅😊
Sadly, after Wednesday, our ministry truck broke down, and we weren’t able to continue our outreach for the rest of last week.
The truck is still having issues, but we simply couldn’t keep canceling our mobile clinics. After Jeff talked with our mechanic, he gave his best professional opinion that if today’s village wasn’t too far and the team watched carefully for warning signs, they should be okay to use it for one more day.
So we took a leap of faith and sent the team out for today’s outreach in Patrocinio while Jeff worked on dealing with our broken SUV. Dad needed to stay back and rest because of his leg pain, and I’ve been struggling with an excruciating toothache.
Thank God — the team had a great day, and they made it home safely with the truck!
Here are some pictures from this past Wednesday. Dad and Natalie were both a big help, and Dad especially couldn’t stop talking about the experience afterward. Maybe I’ll do a little interview with him before he leaves so he can share with you all as well. He’ll be with us for one more week 😇
