We walked beyond triage upon Leilani and Anna helping an elderly gentlemen in a wheelchair. This gentlemen came across a rocky terrain in his wheelchair to be seen by Physical Therapy. They were working with him in limited working space. Anna knew a little Spanish to assist him in his needs. Leilani and Anna were such a strong team working side by side helping many needs and using the means before them to get their job completed. In the background of the Physical Therapist you can see Chuck and his Pharmacy Students busy at work filling prescription after prescription without a complaint. They did not have a translator at the time of our arrival but we pulled a church member to help his community with their prescriptions. We also had to have a church member who could read. Praise God for this gentleman who was there to help. Pastor Ramon arrived on the second and third day to assist with the dispersing of the medicines. But the students never once complained about not having a translator. We saw the need to get another translator and went back to El Liminal to get Meida to help us locate one. God provided very quickly our need for one translator and another one as well. So both sights on the afternoon of their first day at three translators. God's provision came quickly this day. Anna and Leilani shared during God moments that evening, Mrs. Ginger asked them would they like a translator if we got one and they said certainly not knowing we would be coming back within the hour with Gabby. Gabby jumped in and went right to work with Anna and Leilani as they continued Physical Therapy for all who needed this medical care. Orin shared at the end of the day when triage was winding down Sara came to them asking if they needed any help. Sara spent the rest of the day making labels for the Pharmacy. Sara shared with Orin, "I came to serve and that is what I am going to do."
The reason Pastor Ramon was not there for the first day was he was in Tegus receiving chemo for stomach cancer. Pastor Ramon was there the rest of the time to help his church family receive the medical attention they needed. Pastor Ramon is a strong example of faith in the Lord for all details of life. He has had stomach cancer since the fall of 2016. He goes as needed on a bus to Tegus for chemo treatment and returns home the next day if not the day of treatment. Pastor Ramon is a strong man spiritually and physically. He is always a strong example of Jesus each time we see him.
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
