First Day of Quito Medical Team

We arrived in Quito at 9:30 Monday night.  We made it through customs with only a small hitch.  The customs agent at the airport attempted to keep a couple of our bags of medicine because of some incomplete paperwork even though we had done everything on our end to make sure that all papers were in order.  Through much prayer and persuasion and a second trip to the airport we finally were able to get all the meds.
The first day of clinics went very well.  We were able to touch the lives of 315 people with the love of Jesus at Iglesia Norte de Luz in Carapungo which is located about 30 minutes from the guest house.
The people were very responsive to the Gospel message and very appreciative of the medical attention.  Many of the patients were those that we had seen the last two years.  It was good to renew those relationships with the people here in Quito.  We look forward to tomorrow as we go back to the same church for a second day of clinics.  Pray that they will be just as responsive and we will continue to have good health and strength to do the Lord's work.
Thanks to everyone for your prayers.  They are much appreciated.
