Day 3 reflections: Gail

Today was the first day of our clinics.  After being "fed" by others the last few days (i.e. worshipping at Resurrection Lutheran Church, being chauffeured around by our host, Nuri and being educated about all things Guatemala, etc..), I was anxious to share the gift of better vision with the people of Los Limones.  A good part anxious and a giant part nervous!  Training seemed to be forever ago and I felt very insecure of my abilities.  I think most of our team felt the same way.  We set up our clinic with care and with encouragement from our team leader, Debby.     She was confident in us, so we grew confident.  The Lord blessed us with a slow pace in the morning.  We could take time in learning our skills.  It turned out that all that worrying and anxiety was not needed.  God had us in the palm of his hand the whole time and gave us the gifts to succeed that we needed.  Why do we doubt His plan?  We have been told several times since we have signed up for this mission trip that this team and these clinics and all that is to unfold here has already been designed in the eye of our Savior.  We are right where we need to be.  I thank God for being  tool of His love here in Guatemala!  Can't wait for tomorrow!
