Good Afternoon Team Belaire.

Thanks to everyone for making this a successful mission trip. To be able to see so many medical patients (900+) amongst the crush of people at the clinic was truly a miracle. The eye clinic examined around 275 total people and despite reoccurring difficulties with the Retinomax, we were able to fit around 100 pairs of used RX glasses. We saw several cases where individuals who could not even see the top line on our charts went away with glasses seeing at least 20/32 with a couple seeing 20/20. Mary had similar results with the near vision glasses. Most importantly, Russ came away with a wad of first time confessions of faith and re-commitments. Well done guys.

Everyone worked hard, but I think that the stars for the week had to have been Peggy for negotiating access to the SHN food packets, Carlos for adding a much needed kinder tone to our eye glass clinic, and Delmer for his soft spoken manner and his expertise. God’s hand was upon us all. Of course, we were all so very blessed by the wonderful Honduran people. What a great opportunity to work with Evelyn’s girls, the farm staff, the dorm girls, and so many more. And special thanks to Evelyn and Jose for all that they do, for us and for their “neighbors.”  

Also if you have not already done so, please go to the blog at http://ahmen-honduras.blogspot.com/ and read Delmer’s day by day posting of his impressions of the Belaire experience.
