Wednesday in Honduras by Suzanne

Wednesday: This was our third day to go out to a village on our medical mission trip in Honduras. Aaron, Sherrie, Connie, Jeanette and myself are on the pharmacy team. They have made my job so much easier! I really didn't know what kind of workload we should expect, since this is my first time to do this, but maybe we're finally getting it figured out!  We were very busy once again, but today went very well. On Monday we had 149 patients and dispensed 500 prescriptions, Tuesday we saw 170 patients and dispensed 700 prescriptions and today we saw 223 patients and dispensed 793 prescriptions, but, more importantly, we were able to share Jesus with all of them. Today flowed very smoothly despite our conditions and patient load. Monday and Tuesday we were set up in school buildings. Our makeshift pharmacy today was set up outside a house on a dried mud porch. We had quite a barnyard, too...a horse, turkeys, a parrot, etc. I can honestly say that I've never had to keep from stepping on puppies or ducklings while working at Oswalt Pharmacy, but I've also never had a view at work like I did today! The view out of our front "window" was absolutely beautiful! The Chorti people have been so eager for us to be in their villages and have been so gracious, and despite the language barrier (and with the help of Valerie and the other translators), they have been able to hear about the love God has for each of them. What a blessing this week has been! Suzanne So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.  Luke 9:6
