This morning we finished our final clinic. In total we saw 86 patients and provided 97 injections! Again we were even able to see a few of the wonderful people who work here at Santisimo Sacramento. We had one women today who was so thankful and spent 10 minutes telling us how wonderful she felt having us here to listen and how much the people of Piura appreciated our coming and giving them care. She wished us safe travels home and said we were so kind to travel such a long distance to come here. It's been indescribable how little goes so far for the Peruvians. In our week here I have never felt unwelcome or like an outsider. When we were driving through the villages most people yelled hi to us and waved. We receive open and happy greetings from everyone we encountered. I can only hope that as we return to the US that kindness passes on to those around us. It has been the most amazing week and I can't wait for the opportunity to come back and do more. Amy and I have been making a list of what we can bring next time to give more and provide more for the people. We are hoping to go to another orphanage this afternoon and give more OrthoKansas shirts out. We will fly out this evening and be back in the states in the morning.
