Today we had another clinic at a church in El Pino. On the way, we ran into one of the demonstrations where the road was completely blocked. Shane Cooper drives the truck that pulls our trailer and then we have a driver, Polo, who drives the van that everyone rides in. I was in Shane's truck when we got stopped. Shane jumped out of the truck and went up to the place where they had the road blocked. He told them what we were doing and our clinic would be just a very short distance. He promised them that they could come to our clinic later to see if we could get them a pair of glasses if they would let us through. It turned out that Shane actually knew one of the people doing the demonstrations. These are mostly teachers and doctors. They did let us through! We made it to the clinic and set everything up and then some of those who were doing the demonstration did come to the clinic and we were able to help some of them. They asked if they could be seen first but the other patients didn't want to do that. Shane explained to the other patients who were waiting that these people let us through and if they had not let us through, we would not even be there to have a clinic. They worked everything out and everyone was ok with it. God worked out a miracle today that we were worried about at first but He had a bigger plan. Glory to God for his goodness to us and the people of Honduras!
We have decided to leave tomorrow to head towards San Pedro but not sure where we will stay. We are wanting to get close to the airport so that we are not stopped by demonstrations Sunday morning which is when we will be flying out to Atlanta. All prayer warriors - please pray that we won't run into any more problems with traffic, demonstrations or anything else that would stop us from making it home Sunday. Thanks so much for all your prayers.
