Our time here is going by very quickly. We have learned to love the Bolivian people. Village Health Training continues at Instituto Quebradra Leon with hydrotherapy, CPR, First Aid and numerous other subjects including nutrition, other infections, and prevention health related diseases.
This Vision Team has been in different locations everyday. Yesterday they visited a Senior Center built by some churches in Oregon. It is a beautiful place where elderly get meals and medical care. We examined and gave glasses to 170 people.
Today we at the Hospital in El Torno. The lines have been long all day. We may reach 200 people. Pretty much everyone will get a pair of glasses. What a thrill to see the expressions as many see for the first time. Some have shared how they want to be able to read the Bible to others. Our team prays with each person and they many times in turn pray for us. Many times there doesn´t seem to be the correct pair of glasses for someone but after prayer the perfect pair appears.
We plan to drive into Santa Cruz on Sunday and hopefully see a few sites and markets before flying home on Monday morning. We should arrive about midnight in Seattle on Monday. Those going on to Walla Walla will drive from there.
What a blessing this trip has been to each of us.
We will look forward to sharing our pictures and stories with each of you in the future.
