Day 3 - BIGGEST day yet!
Whew what a day today! Lots of hard work, filled with lots of people, lots of love, and lots of servant hearts! We were estimated to have seen about 1,000 patients today at our clinic that was held at Jimmy's church. The PT students participated in a rotation once again, where they got to experience many different professions. In fact, Rachel, Clancy, and Devin pulled a patient's tooth for the first time! We have been providing treatment for many patients who are suffering from after effects of chicungundia, a virus that has spread through El Salvador and killed many people. All the patients here are extremely grateful and happy to receive services, we can't help but smile as we work with them. We also got to pray with patients more today. God is still moving and present here in El Salvador! Evident in the fact that 119 people accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior today!!

Thank you for the continued prayers and please keep them coming! We ask that you pray for rest and recovery tomorrow as we recover and prepare for the rest of the week during our day off. Please pray for protection and good health. Please also pray for those that accepted Christ today. That they would continue to have a growing passion to grow closer and closer to the Lord.
Day 4 - Beach Day!!
The picture with this day is of the cool professor we like to call the Herbinator. This pic about sums up our day today! Lots of relaxation and fun. We went to the market and did a little shopping, went to the beach that had black sand (from the volcanoes) and HUGE waves, and headed back to the hotel driving on the wrong side of the road with our police escorts leading the way so we could get ready for church. Tonight we will be singing some music at the church in English and Spanish for their congregation. Between our host Jimmy and his family, the translators, the police, and the extra helping hands everyone has been so generous and kind to us here.
Today we ask that you pray over the remainder of the week as we prepare for our last 2 clinics, and please pray for the country of El Salvador, as I'm sure most have heard there are quite a few sad events going on here! Thank you for your prayers, we love you all and can't wait to share more about the trip soon!
