I just wanted to post a quick update for the first two days of the medical team. Over the past two days we’ve seen about 430 patients. Not as big as in the past, but just as effective! I don’t have the “conversion ratio from the first day, but today we had an estimated 60 to 70 people accept Christ! Tomorrow we are headed to Comayagua after church, which is around a two and half hour drive from Tegucigalpa. We have three clinics (Monday-Wednesday), then we head back to Teguc for our last clinic out towards Danli. It should go really fast since we are not used to such short teams (only 9 nights).

Preparing for our first team
We have been busy preparing for the arrival of our first team tomorrow. Westside, our home church in the States, is bring a medical team! I think it’s pretty cool that I’ve been able to host two teams from my home church in one year, a construction team in the Philippines and a medical team in Honduras.
Part of getting ready for the team is checking the vehicles to make sure they are road worthy. While one of our vehicles passed with flying colors, the other vehicle is in need of a great mechanic. The “red van” (an old Ford 16-passenger van) has been leaking transmission fluid for quite some time now. Tom (Tom & Amy Hanes are co-coordinators here) refilled the transmission fluid and took it for a spin. It did pretty well!
