Last night in Piura

Tonight is our last evening here in Piura. We will have the morning and part of the afternoon here to work and help as much as possible before leaving for the airport mid-afternoon. We had another clinic this afternoon and in total have provided 77 injections in our three days of clinic. We have even had the chance to help a few of the wonderful people who work here at Santisimo Sacramento. They all work so hard to provide meals, transportation, and safety for each of us that it was great to provide some care to them. Again we received much thanks for being here and providing some medical care. One women even said that every time she has ever had an injection it has been painful but the one I gave today didn't cause her any pain and she was so greatful for that. I think we could have been in clinic seeing patients all night if we didn't have Mass because people continued to show up to be seen. Hopefully we can get them all in tomorrow. We will leave any supplies we did not use here for future use in the clinic. We are also hoping to send a few supplies after we return to Lawrence that can be utilized by the nurses here. They really have the most amazing staff here and we have been so lucky to have all of their help. After clinic we had a short amount of time to relax and then attend Mass. After Mass we provided our mosquito nets to one of the families the Randall's have adopted. We will enjoy another meal tonight and prepare for our final day tomorrow.
