Many miles to go before he sleeps...

 

 

Paula from Salitron

We first met Paula and her parents back in January at a medical clinic in Chaunco' with the first partnership team from FBC, Mt. Pleasant, SC, and Iglesia Bautista Shalom, Zacapa.  They had walked about an hour to the clinic from their home in Salitron.  Her malformed ears are crossed with nasal passages.  At this time, due to severe infection, she was unable to hear or talk.  After being treated by a local doctor her infection cleared and he recommended a ear and eye hospital in the capital that specializes in unique cases. 

 

In March, David and I and the national partnership pastor accompanied she and her parents to the capital for her first appointment.  It was the first time for either of them to travel that far from home, first time to visit the capital...so many firsts for them.  After exams from a couple of doctors and several technical scans, they believe there are things that can be done to help correct Paula's problems and scheduled her next visit...April 24.  Yes, it is right in the middle of the medical clinic in Nearar.  Makes things a bit interesting for sure.

 

So PRAY

 

*PRAY for the medical clinic and open doors in Nearar these next several days

*PRAY for hearts to hear, understand, receive, and desire to grow in Christ

*PRAY for open doors in the Lemus family as physical needs are being met in Paula

*PRAY for their salvation and the salvation of many in Salitron

*PRAY for the doctors to know how best to treat and correct her problems

*PRAY for physical strength for David

 

Tuesday afternoon, he and Pastor Rolando will meet the Lemus family again and travel to the capital,  They will spend the night at the mission house before her appointment early tomorrow...it is the "arrive before 6 am and get in line...first come, first seen" appointment.  After all the exams and appointments, they will return to Salitron Wednesday night and David will continue on to Jocotan where the medical team is staying for their return trip to the capital on Thursday. 

Thus the title...

Many miles to go before he sleeps.
