This report is for Monday, February 19, 2024. The word for today is PREPARE. The related scripture comes from Isaiah 57:14 and says: “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove every obstruction from my people’s way!” This was a day of preparation for our clinic so we can see patients the remainder of the week. In reality, this is preparation for the people of God (everyone). We are removing the obstructions of poor health, poor vision, and poor dentition from the lives of God’s people so that they can better advance on God’s path for them and improve their opportunity for spiritual growth. In helping the least of our brothers and sisters, we are doing for and to Him. We are the hands and feet of God this week. It is an awesome and challenging responsibility to do the best we can for these indigent Hondurans with limited resources, so your gifts and prayers are appreciated. We arrived at the Mission site at 9 AM, a bit behind our schedule due to traffic. The team did an amazing job getting the Fuerzas Unidas clinic set up. While it went well, we are starting from scratch getting this set up as we have not been here at this location for 10 years. Being at Fuerzas Unidas is like a homecoming for me as I have 12 years (2003 -2014) of memories from those previous missions. The church has been greatly improved over the years by the congregation. Better lighting and an actual drywalled ceiling have been added under the bare sheet metal roof and a canopy has been added over the courtyard. An air compressor and vacuum had to be set up for the four dentists and the portable dental units set up. Tables for the dental supplies and sterilization had to be stocked and our makeshift dental chairs erected. The dentists who are working at our other location, Solid Rock Church, had to do the same setup. The registration and triage areas were stocked with forms, clipboards, thermometers, blood pressure cuffs and scales. The pharmacist and her daughter/assistant stocked the shelves with thousands of dollars’ worth of medications. By the end of the day, everything was ready for the clinic on Tuesday. Several of us also went shopping (again) to find a few last-minute necessities. Due to the travel around the city and roaming the shopping mall from end to end, shopping may have been the most difficult job! The team is a remarkable group of people who are dedicated to their work and get along well, even when the going gets tough. This will be a great clinic week! Thanks, and blessings to all of you!
