Our Last Day


Well everyone, our trip is now over. Today was a very successfull day. We finished legs for several patients and the rest will be done next week by James and Kodi (head clinic workers). Randy fitted a little girl, above the knee amputee, and she walked for the first time. Kraig fitted an older woman who was also able to walk for the first time. Randy and Kraig both fitted an bilateral above the knee amputee, who was able to walk again in his life. We all then began to tidy things up in the clinic. Curtains were finished and inventory was organized. After all the patients had been discharged, we had a communion service with all the clinic workers. It was an incredibly moving time. After the service, we said all of our goodbyes, sheded many tears, and said our "can't wait till next times." Later that afternoon, some of us went back to the market for a little last minute shopping. I thank you all for your wonderful support. Without you, this trip would not have been a possibility. The Lord has done incredible things over the past two weeks. I can't wait to get home and start telling everyone how things went and showing the hundreds of pictures and videos. An entire other type of work begins when we get back. Dad and Mom have numerous engagements to help spread the news about this year's trip and Standing With Hope. Other team members will be engaging in other forms of publicity for Standing With Hope throughout the Summer and rest of the year also. Our plane leaves very early in the morning and the next time I'll be talking to you all, we'll all be back in the United States. Thank you once again for your support, thoughts, comments, and prayers. I'm glad everyone has enjoyed the blog. I appologize for not having more team members write blogs, but honestly, they were too nervous and scared to do it. Anyways, there are people Standing With Hope because of you all!! Thanks again for your wonderful support and I'll talk to you all tomorrow to let you know we all made it home safely.






Lord Bless,
