Medical Clinic & Update on Brayan

Today we had our bi-weekly medical clinic in La Fe. Doctor Roger came and saw patients like normal and also went on two house calls. First, we went to see Brayan to check on his burns. Dr. Roger was VERY happy that Brayan is improving a ton and also that Brayan would talk. The other times Dr. Roger saw him, Brayan was in a lot of pain and what Roger was doing to him hurt (and helped). Now that he has improved so much, Brayan is in a much better mood and actually laughed with Dr. Roger.

Later in the day, we went to see how Abuelita was doing. She is not improving, but her body is continuing to shut down. She was having trouble breathing and was in a lot of pain. We were able to give her medicine to help those symptoms, but the reality is that she will most likely not be around too much longer. We are SO thankful that she says she knows Jesus and that she is ready to go "home to see Him!"

These were just two of the patients we saw today. We also had the opportunity to see a few new faces as well as see some who have come many times before. We are so glad that the Lord has blessed our ministry with the ability to help meet some of the physical needs in La Fe by having medical clinics. These help us to get to know people on a deeper level and build relationships. We also know that our Savior cares about our physical bodies and calls us to care for those in need.
