Today I went to a local church and helped with the medical clinic. We set up the clinic in the church and had patients coming in all day, by the end of the day we saw over 120 people. We were able to provide some medications and vitamins to the people that came to help them with any problem they might have. I teamed up with Ellie Billman, who is awesome at Spanish, and made it much easier to communicate, and did the initial questioning as people came in. The thing I noticed most as I was working was how happy and thankful everyone was. They were kind and understanding as we struggled to communicate and were happy that we were at least trying to help them. The highlight of my day was being able to interact with people that who were truly grateful for what they were receiving no matter the circumstances.
P.S. - Mom, I didn’t get sunburned… thank the Lord.
