Done in Ayacucho

It's a wrap for the MMI clinic Ayacucho! We finished up with a half day of work on Friday and got to play around with the kids afterwards and even get a few games of ninja in with the workers! We finished off the day with an AMAZING dinner from chef Estelle, with some common Peruvian dishes followed by not 1, but 2 absolutely delicious desserts (rice pudding with sweet milk and fried donuts with syrup). Which was immediately followed by a stop at our favorite local ice cream joint, Café Via Via, where we received our own private serenade from the café band!  Nobody on this trip is going home hungry! We can't believe this week of work is already over, and we are so grateful to have been apart of it. We got to see over 260 patients through the 5 days, with many memories to go along with them! We are honored to be able to be used by God to help plants seeds in such an area of need to further His Kingdom. I know most of us are already planning on when we can come back! Ayacucho is one of the most beautiful places in the world with some of the most impoverished people in the world as well. They are simple people who don't have a lot of material possessions, but are some of the most joyful people you will ever find. The need here is great, and the workers are few! It was definitely one of the most humbling experiences for all of us, and we are excited to have made new friends while getting to practice our physical therapy skills along the way. We are now off to Cusco to hike up the beautiful ruins of Machu Pichu! Thank you all for your continued prayers and support, The Lord has heard them and His plan is definitely in action!
