My Life in La Paz, Honduras by Micah Smith


Before our long day doing the medical clinic we had to organize the vitamins, medicine, and other things needed to give out to those at the clinic.
Finally, after the third time building these tables I think we got the hang of it. Which was important cause we needed to get it done before the clinic started. We built the tables at Coquito, the same place we held the clinic.
We sent the people through three stations, the first to receive their name, weight, their complaint, age, and what medicine they will need. The second was the pharmacy where they would receive their medicine and worm medication if needed and then vitamins. The last was where they would get their feet washed and receive a tooth brush, tooth paste, a toy, and whatever else was needed.  The clinic was an eye opener for everyone seeing so much sickness in such a small village. The clinic really showed us all what can be done when believing and trusting that God is there 100 percent of the way. I believe most of us were pushed outside our comfort zone, but with the help of God those weakness became our strengths. 
As soon as the others in Coquito see others gathering and music playing the come just to watch and wait for us to be done so that they can play with us.

After some rest and food we go to church at La Cosecha. Were we taught the kids the motions to "Oh Happy Days" and "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" which all the kids learned fast and started to mouth the words with us. Then the kids colored and waited till church ended.
