Faithfulnes

Our celebration dinner was a good time of expressing gratitude to the MAMA staff and remembering to be faithful. Tim Weaver shared a story of a little girl waiting for a seed to sprout. Her grandfather reminded her that all it took was her faithfulness to water the cup of dirt each day.

Mary reviewed our totals for the week:
Parasite medicine- 677 people
Medical consults (one doctor)-  316 people
Teeth pulled= 124
Low hemoglobin= 77
Malnourished children found= 22
Reading glasses to 118
Cement floors done= 31, 253 bags cement (50 yds or 100 ton)
People in homes w new floors= 62 adults, 75 kids

As you can see- an amazing week as the staff and team worked to remain faithful to serving others!

We ended the evening with each team member taking a parasite pill (for good measure) and a gummi vitamin (or two or ten).

Off to Copan or the airport!
Love, Barb for the team

Glad to hear your week went well It was good to see some of your fellow church members at the men's retreat at Spruce Lake. we had an awesome time of input and learned all of us men have lots of room to grow in our relationships with spouses and friends. Have a fun time in Copan and safe travels home.

WOW! That is a lot of malnourished children in a week! I am so glad you were there searching them out and seeing them!
