Various Photos

First Day of clinic- this was early on becasue I still look "fresh". Later in the day I suffered form heat exhaustion and then massive back pain as my muscles "seized up" on me. Though it was difficult- I had to return to the hotel and rest and recouperate. It wqas a difficult way to start my first day with so much still ahead of me, but I felt the peace of God that everything was perfectly held in Hsi hands. I used my time at the hotel to pray for the team and for the government to allow the festival to take place on Friday night (I'm happy to say it DID take place!) Thanks to all of you who knew about my struggles and prayed with me! The rest of the week was non-stop , with me feeling decent and adjusting about 100-150 patients each day! Now that's God!!!!!
Thisis one of my favorite photos because as I walked thru the crowds that were waiting for care (when we would arrive there were alreadya bout 500 people waiting for us)...this little boy/or girl(?) just put his arms out for me to hold him . This was unusual for the kids so after seeing the Mom giving me the "go ahead" to hold him I was thrilled to take him in my arms and pray over him and just show Jesus' love.


I am not 100% certain, but I THINK this is the woman who had to be carried to my table and then after I was done treating her she was able to easily walk away on her own. Either way, it is one of the many beautiful Khmer people that I treated!


How cute is this little kid? I treated both child and Mom and then snapped this precious photo. The Cambodians greet each other by putting their hands together and then bowing and so this little one was just learning how to do that. Seriously- too cute for words.


This is a picture of Doreen Bebo and myself in her nice suite at the luxurious Phnom Penh hotel! She and her husband Mark were our team leaders and were simply awesome. I learned so much form them. And now...we also have our Nigeria contact! (Mark and Doreen split their time between New Orleans and Nigeria...both places that God has spoken into our hearts about.)
