Baaaaaaaaaa






Over worked but blessed for a life time……..I am extremely proud of this team. There were many patients to check in today. We started off with MANY sick children. We are so proud of Renee who successfully started an IV on a very dehydrated boy. He spent most of the morning with us getting rehydrated and an IV antibiotic. There were many respiratory treatments given, a pregnancy was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and sent to hospital, “sour water” (GERD), coughs and 94 year old grandma (granme) who said God has preserved her. Karen counted and labeled many tablets for all of the patients. Deb was crazy in triage again today. There were more patients requesting appointments than tickets and adjustments that had to be made. There were many children throughout the day waiting to be seen so we kept them busy with music, coloring and sidewalk chalk. Shirley, Renee and Nancy worked out a system to finish all of the patients just in time for another delicious dinner of sauce poul including the vegetarian version.
Bible adventure class was definitely a blaaaaaaast today. Will he not leave the 99 on the hill? It was very rewarding seeing hundreds of sheep pins everywhere. We sang “When the Saints Go Marching In” all over Three Angels grounds. The medical clinic was not impressed each round as they tried to listen to heart murmurs and fetal heart tones. Kelly, Brittanie and Laura were busy all day. Kelly was the lost sheep with the pink nose, Laura was an angry lion (RRRRoar) and Brittanie was David the shepherd (Kung fu artist). We have been blessed to have Kelly who planned out the Bible adventure classes with skits, games and crafts everyday for all 280 students and our team including provision of all costumes and craft supplies. Tonight we
practiced making beads and designing new necklaces. Sandy was busy today making WONDERFUL baklava. It was simply delicious.
We are all exhausted. There is a lot of work that we plan to accomplish before we leave and we are running out of time. The team is off to practice yet another skit…..Bonwit.

Congratulations Renee for getting the IV in :-) that is so wonderful and it makes me cry. It sounded like a very demanding day. Congratulations to you all for the hard work again. We are very much enjoying following your work and adventures from California. Be safe.
