We will be flying out tomorrow morning very early. One of our team members had to fly home yesterday and the plane to Atlanta was diverted because of some severe weather in Atlanta. They landed in Mobile but they couldn't leave the plane because it wasn't an international airport. Everyone must go through customs. He finally made it home around midnight last night. When we arrive at Atlanta tomorrow, we have to run to catch the next plane to Birmingham because the two flights are back to back. If our flight is running late landing in Atlanta, we will miss our flight and will have to take a much later flight. Please pray we will be on time and will catch our connecting flight.
I feel much better today. I have been sick several times down here. I decided to eat pop tarts for lunch instead of going to the restaurant here at the hotel. Didn't get sick - finally.
Our totals for this trip are:
Total patients - 302
Total prescription glasses - 88
Saved - 45 +/-
Last year we gave out 42% prescription glasses to the total number of patients. This year we gave out 29% prescription glasses to the total number of patients. I think we saw more young people this year than last year and that changed the percentage of prescription glasses. Most importantly, we saw approximately 45 get saved this year compared to only 15 last year. Last year we were here for 2 weeks compared to 1 week this year. One more for Jesus!
This has been another awesome year with another awesome team. I just thank God that He sent me here again. I love Honduras and I really don't want to leave. We spent the morning working at the bodega and then going to Leonard Jones to organize the inventory trailer for next year. We had the chance to see the kids one more time. They were excited to see us and we were sad to leave them. I am praying that God does send me down again next year to serve Him and the precious people here in Honduras.
Es una cosa de Dios! It's a God Thing!
