Dr. Brenda sat up in one room while the North Americans set up next door. Dr. Miguel led his students Kassie, Joey and EJ with the leadership of Monica, DO student. James, DO student worked beside Dr. Miguel to help give each of their patients all they needed. James shared during God moments on the first evening he wanted more than runny noses and colds. God I want a challenge. Well you get what you ask for with God. God gave James later in the day a patient with a disease which there was not a cure for. James shared with the team what a humbling experience this was for him. Every patient and what they have wrong is of most importance. James shared with me each time he comes to Honduras God shows him so much about human life more than the medicine. God is our Creator of all and provides all we need in life. Sometimes it may not be what we want or expect. But at the end of the day God through HIS Son Jesus Christ is the Great Physician. So when God gave James a patient there was not any medicines for or any treatment for James asked this person could he pray for them. James with Dr. Miguel translating prayed for God's healing hand to be placed on this person's life. This is one of many stories shared during the week. How grateful these sweet people were for what the DOs and PAs did for them. Even if they could only pray for them they were most grateful. These people entrusted their lives to complete strangers who most did not speak their own language. They walked quiet a ways for a hope of some kind of help for their medical needs. But after it was all said and done they were all so very grateful and walked away with a smile on their face.
