Just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers for me while I was in Nicaragua--I got home safely Sunday night after an incredible trip! We were working in a free medical clinic in the town of La Dalia, which is in a very poor area high up in the mountains. I was one of 4 or 5 non-medical people in the group--our team had physicians assistants, nurse practitioners, dieticians, a physical therapist, a pharmacist, a dentist, a veterinarian, a counsellor and 4 med students....and, of course, a librarian! :-) I was in the eye clinic all week giving out eyeglasses--by the end of the week, we had given out about 800 pairs. Part of the goal of this trip was also to establish a congregation in La Dalia, and by the end of the week we'd had 9 baptisms. Several of the ministers from other parts of Nicaragua spent their days talking to the hundreds of people in the line, giving out Bibles, and getting follow-up information. It was a great experience for me to see all of the medical people showing such kindness and compassion for the Nicaraguan people in the name of Christ--it really convicted me. I'm already planning on going back next year!



I'm posting a few of my pictures below--thanks again for all of your prayers!



Love,

Jenny
