Day 3 reflections: Sandi




First day "in the field" doing eyeglass clinic was filled with anticipation and a little lack of confidence as we set up and anxiously waited for "customers". The morning was hazy and hot with the threat of rain and business started out slow. This worked great in helping us feel our way and build our confidence in doing exams/testing, dispensing and fitting in preparation for the afternoon rush. Returning from lunch at Pastor Luis' house we found a packed clinic with adults and children waiting. VBS was lively and full of energetic and beautiful kids and the clinic was hopping. The team members now feeling more confident jumped in at all stations to keep things moving. We packed up the clinic for the day and it was a happy but tired team on the drive back to the hotel. The night's devotion was filled with amazing personal stories from the day from a very tired crew.
