Today we got to sleep in a little bit because clinic today was in the church next door. We got up, got ready and had a delicious breakfast of French toast before heading over to set up.

We were a little surprised today because there were a lot less people than we expected. Things began pretty slow and so the youth, with no children to paint, started painting one another. Then Jonathan came over and decided to do a masterpiece on Tifanie
and Jessica's faces. Who said doctors are not artistic?

A little bit later on things did pick up when about 25 children came in, from a daycare, all at once. Most of them went over to get their face's painted and while they waited we put on a puppet show for them, which they all loved. They were up dancing and clapping and just having a good time! We gave each one of them a little stuffed animal, which made them really happy too.

We had a little over 100 come through the clinic today. There were 12 salvations and 47 healings.

Even though we were expecting more people, it actually turned out to be a good thing. First, we had time for a nice lunch together...

And with less people coming through the line it gave the prayer team more time with the patients. They had more time to share the Gospel, pray and worship with them. It also left us with an ample supply of medicine that we can take up to the children of Attocucho tomorrow.

Since things were pretty slow, one group of people at a time went to a bakery down the
road. And since there was not a lot of demand on our time, some took the opportunity to share some of their signature dance moves...

all this was followed by a stuffed animal fight...

OK children, time to pack up your toys and go home!  And that's what we did.

At the end of the day we packed everything up and went back to the house. Some folks headed back to the bakery while others stayed at the house playing games and such. At dinner we had some really good stir fry and later on we went into the living room for a wonderful devotional shared by Michael Shrum. We all took turns telling how this trip has impacted us thus far and what we will take back with us.

As we listened to the hearts of our brothers and sisters, it was hard to believe that so much has happened in such a short amount of time... and we aren't done yet.

It was yet another wonderful and emotional day.
