Today was our first day in the clinic, which was held at a school called Saint Peter's School, connected to Jimmy's father's church. We saw hundreds of patients (will have a grand total at the end of the week) among the dentist, the doctors, the optometrist, the pharmacists, and physical therapists. The dentist performed many many extractions, which was a new and exciting experience for us PT students to be a part of!
There is a variety of medical needs present here in El Salvador. Ranging from patients needing glasses, to teeth being pulled, to needing education and exercises from other areas. In the PT department, there was a patient who had been hit by a car and was in need of crutches. We were able to give them these in order to help them walk. We also worked with a man who had been living with a severely subluxed shoulder for 8 years! Despite attempting to meet the many medical needs there are here, we know that even more so we are here to spread the love and Word of Jesus Christ. So, the biggest celebration of all is that 50 people came to know the Lord today!! God is good, and present, and faithful here in El Salvador!
Please continue praying for God to move here in El Salvador! Please pray for our team to be His hands and feet and that He would be glorified through our services. We also ask for prayer for endurance and strength as we will be facing our busiest day tomorrow (Tuesday)! Muchas gracias! (Thank you very much!)
