San Jose de Cayo

I had a pleasant ride to the community while the rest of us had a little bumpier ride☺️.  The people were excited to see us when we arrived, and patiently waited while we got set up. We saw around 250 people today in the medical clinic. We were blessed with four doctors and a nurse that will be with us all week. Cindy, Kathy and I were distributing the vitamin A, deworming medicine and (Bob's favorite gummy bears or) multivitamins. Geri and Gresy were doing the anemia check and lolli-pops😃. Rolando was in charge of handing out the micronutrients, eye glasses, tooth brush, tooth paste and, of course, took time to chat with the people of the community. After that, they went to see the doctors. The doctors: Gloria, Arlene, Alisson and Domingo, were content and blessed after serving with us today. If the patient received a prescription from their doctor, they went to the pharmacy where Barb, Kathy and Dinora graciously assisted them with their needs.

Bob, Pastor Juan, Brent and three people from the community worked together to paint the inside and out of a preschool.

As the business died down it was time for more JOY and little gifts. They loved the crayons, silly bands and the beanie babies. Of course, they all loved the soccer ball, especially Rolando and Pastor Juan who found time to play with the kids.

The school teacher who is the pastor's wife was so touched by our love that she gathered three of us in a group hug and gave praise as she prayed to the Lord. Thank you all for your love and prayers.

God bless you, Linda for the team
