March 10 Gracias a Dios and Pastor Juan

We finally got to work today in Pastor Juan's community. The medical team got to see 195 people, all with different complications. All were dewormed. Several stories stuck out to all of us. Some of them were Miguel and Adalid, a teenager with cerebral palsy, a lady with a lump on her clavicle, and a 75 year old lady with most likely lung cancer. Miguel is a very special young man who has basically adopted Adalid, a 10 or 11 year old boy who was abandoned by his mother in his sleep, and is taking him under his wing. Adalid cannot read or write, and is walking pretty well after having knee surgery. Each of these have their own stories behind them, and touched our hearts. All of the pen pals letters were delivered today to Pastor Juan, and we saw four of them at the clinic today, and took their pictures, and we hope to bring back letters from each of them at the end of our trip, and...., and....
We only completed two floors today, yet the scientific methodic engineering of the construction sites within the boundaries of the living quarters of the families was successfully supreme in fufilling the destiny of the future of the floors, and was much appreciated by the grateful recipients.
The improvement of the community was much recognized by Carmen, as she has seen throughout the past three years. The people have become more connected through each other and most importantly through the church. Much of the improvement is due to the leadership of Pastor Juan and the involvement of MAMA in the community. This has been great to witness.
