We had a clinic today at a town called Cacao. We had the clinic at Pastor Guillermo's church. We saw around 60 patients and gave out about 20 prescription glasses. Many patients who didn't need prescription glasses did get readers if they needed them. The most exciting part of the day was Pastor Guillermo sharing with us about 5 people who professed Jesus as their Lord and Savior. He gave everyone who came through his evangelism station a Bible. He said one young man who came through said he wasn't ready to get saved. Pastor Guillermo told him that if Jesus was ready to die for him, then he should be ready to ask Him into his heart. He said he was going to follow up with this young man as well as some of the others who came through his station. We were excited to hear about those 5 who did get saved. One more for Jesus!
Today was a challenging day with the autorefractor equipment. We had a problem with the program that runs the autorefractor and I couldn't figure out the solution. I told Bucket how important it was for us to have this solved so that we could be better equipped to help those who come through our station. I want to make sure we give them the best glasses we have. He came over to the laptop, he told all of Leonard's kids from the orphanage to gather around and everyone laid hands on the computer, on me and on each other and started praying that the problem would get solved. Later this afternoon, I was able to connect with the person who wrote the program and long story short - it is fixed. I didn't know if I would be able to talk to him on Saturday but he answered the phone and he remotely connected to the computer, connected to Skype and talked to me through the whole process. I totally did not expect that. From Kentucky to Honduras! The Lord connected me to the right person at the right time and everything is working! Thank you, Jesus. Now we will be ready for next week.
Thank you to all our prayer warriors/rope holders who have prayed for us back home. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow evening and let you see our eye clinic in action.
