I apologize to those who are following my blog. There has not been anything to follow for several weeks now. Since the 20th of May, there has been a team in the mission house everyday with the exception of one week when my favorite team canceled their trip.
Last Thursday, August 12th, I waved good-bye to the last team of the summer. In May, that day seemed eons away and I wasn't sure how I was going to manage through the summer. However, with the help of Teresa Lara and some of her daughters and Kirk and Michelle Lightfield, we made it. As far as I know, all the teams were blessed and excited about their trips and the things they accomplished.
The ministry I have been doing here has been ongoing. There have been people who come from Santo Domingo who need medicine, medical exams, and taken to the doctor. One little girl in particular needed to have a rash tended to on her arms. Turns out it is eczema and she is doing better. Her little arms looked as though they had been burned.
The last team here was from Michigan and they were so glad to get to some cooler temperatures. It seems it has been 90 degrees for a lot of their summer. They got very little sympathy from me knowing what the temps have been in Arkansas. Could you folks see if you can do something about that before I get there on September 3.
