Second day in the Amazon

hey bloggerpeople,
today was an interesting day on the river..i worked in the pharmacy with my dad and Jordan and our translator Geraldo.  We saw probably 60ishh patients and 95% were given worm meds in addition to other medicines. yum. Saw a few pigs near the "pharmacy" as well as a rooster and lots of wild chickens. only in the jungle.  Boat life is great, and the hammocks are even better..thinking of trading in my bed for one of those.  No, seriously.
peace out from the amazon jungle

Hello everyone,
At the end of our second day we are all pretty tired. It is really hot and humid here...but probably no hotter than Montgomery. Even so a few trips back to the boat for items we needed in the pharmacy really tired me out.We saw a lot of patients, had an eyeglass clinic, did Bible school (like Eastwood this week) and had a worship service at the end of the day in the village. I shared my testimony at the service and a Brazilian pastor, Eduardo,preached. Getting to and from the clinic from the boat was a real adventure. In addition to the critters Laura mentioned, I also saw a few large lizards. Unfortunately several people got chiggers.(not me thankfully!). One of our translators is sick with some kind of stomach bug but so far no one else is sick. We do the same thing tomorrow but every day brings a new adventure. The people in the villages especially the kids seem to really look forward to our coming. Please continue to pray for us the rest of the week.

Hey y'all,
Today was a pretty good day, but long and hot. I worked with Sadler and Norman at the eyeglasses station and we just helped people figure out what strength glasses they needed and it was so cool to see their faces when they put on the glasses and could see clearly. We had the opportunity to pray with a few of them after we found them the right glasses. In the afternoon I hung out with some of the kids and took pictures of them and then showed them their pictures and they LOVED it. Please keep praying for our trip throughout the rest of our week!
