March 11 Gracias a Dios / Santa Ana - Pastor Juan
We are still waiting for the other suitcases to arrive. We did not obtain extra medicine from San Francisco. We saw Carla briefly as we passed her by in the van. Our medical team saw about 240 people today. Some of the stories caught our group's eye tonight as we discussed our day. These included a 24 year old woman who had 4 kids and the first one she had at age 11, at least two epileptic patients (one also had a head injury during a seizure), and a woman who had MS in her brain and was losing sight and a little hearing. The construction team (aka Barry) had problems with the truck. They got the assistance of a 15 year old. The amazingly efficient construction groupo had the Hulk-like strength to complete four excruciatingly grande floors. We carried multple large buckets full of heavy sand uphill from the river which was downhill from the house where we were working.
Prayer for the process of Pastor Juan and the community obtaining the lot next to the existing church is much appreciated. They would like to get this lot to buld a main church hall and use the existing room as a Sunday school/ kindergarten place. This lot is expensive for this community and they would like our prayers as to how they can obtain it.
