A busy week with All Saints

It's Saturday night and we just finished a medical campaign with a group from All Saints in Austin, TX. Drs. Morgan and Williamson and nurse Catherine were busy all week helping us in the clinic
while three others were destroying some old parts of the house next door to the clinic so we
can expand there, and also sanding and painting our soon to be finished second floor.
I feel many folks were helped and we even spent one day out in a very poor settlement
called Palmeras 3.
We had one very sad case however. Ronald, a taxi driver and member of our church, brought us
a family with a twelve year old boy in the back of his station wagon. The boy had a large tumor
on his femur which has been growing for about a year. It is an osteosarcoma if I recall correctly.
Dr. Morgan explained that there is really little hope at this stage and helped to prepare the parents for the child's imminent death and prescribed some pain meds for him.
Sometimes we face difficult situations where we can only do so much. It is difficult but
we trust in the Lord's goodness and mercy to be evident where his gospel is proclaimed.
Pray for people like this who are suffering and pray that we can provide comfort and hope
in the Lord.

May is over

 
May was a busy month, and now that June is here we are ready for another busy month.
Before I forget, here is Rebekah with Olivia Baker. The Bakers are on furlough for a year or so
mostly back in Texas, but traveling around too. We have been staying occupied with more school, some traveling, and
meeting new people. This week we have three gentlemen from Virginia. One, Dr. David Davis, will be
working in the clinic the next three days.
Two more teams are coming this month, doing some construction and also some more medical work.
Blessing in the Lord to all
