Ahhh.... it was the last day of clinics today... I'm not sure how I feel. Somewhat relieved - in the sense that we will be going home soon - I miss my people.... somewhat sad - these long days of serving the people have been such a joy and is coming to an end. They, not knowing, have brought such joy to all of us; sad also in the fact that our team will be going our seperate ways for awhile. I know that it is this team that has made this trip so awesome! They truly are the best! We have had many great moments together - laughing so hard we couldn't stand it - our table talk has really had some interesting conversations! Most of us being in the medical profession really have some strange topics to cover!! The non-medical are catching on and joining in!! Our road trips and experiences have produced many a laughs!! Pat, did you blog about yesterday?? Oh my!! Do we have stories on that trip! Emotional because of the work we are doing here and how we have been humbled...
There really is so much to say and I can't wait to share it with you in person!!

Hey Dawn- I am glad you had such an amazing experience on this trip and I can't wait to hear about all of it! I have been praying constantly for all of you and I know that so many others have as well. I am glad you miss your "people"...we miss you too!! As I have read all your the entries on this blog throughout the last 10 days, this verse keeps coming to my mind and it was also the verse that we focused on at Fellowship of Christian Athletes this week....and of course, I used all of your group as examples!!
" When you do things, do not let selfishness be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than yourselves. Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others." Phil. 2:3-4 Yep, totally all of you!!!Have a great last day tomorrow and I will pray for safe travels on Monday!

Dawn - I think that you have done a great job and have really had an experience like no other. I know that your family will be anxious for your return. I met Sara and Olivia - Emmy is back home. I will be anxious for your phone call telling me you are in TX and on your way home.I have loved seeing the pictures and the children. Their eyes tell it all. Love you!!!!!!
