\u00a0<\/span>Thursday, May 17th<\/p>\n

Welcome to Africa! No water, no internet, and a lot of bugs! However, nothing that we can\u2019t overcome.\u00a0 <\/span>We started our morning visiting with Mama Lynn telling us about a Light in Africa.\u00a0 <\/span>What a wonderful woman she is, and what great things she does for this country. We then went over to the special needs children\u2019s home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There were more special needs children than we could have ever imagined.\u00a0 <\/span>There were severe neurological deficits amongst many of them.\u00a0 <\/span>The most impressive part was the amazing care that was provided by the caregivers.\u00a0 <\/span>There was an amazing genuine love they had for the children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We also got to watch and appreciate Gayle assessing patients.\u00a0 <\/span>There was a lot of new terminology that we got to learn and many things we don\u2019t\u00a0 <\/span>often get to see in the states.\u00a0 <\/span>It was also evident to see how long they go without medical assistance and how poor the medical assistance is they receive when they do. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We also got to see 2 Orthopedic patients that were waiting for us all morning.\u00a0 <\/span>These patients were so thankful to have medical assistance and patient. Their pain tolerances amazed us. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We ended our day listening to the children sing and praise God.\u00a0 <\/span>You were able to FEEL God\u2019s presence through the songs they sing and love they have for our Lord.\u00a0 <\/span>We were very impressed with how the older girls (about 10-13 years of age) are ensuring the younger girls are taken care of.\u00a0 <\/span>We have thoroughly enjoyed our first day in Tanzania and are looking forward to the rest of our trip!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HI everyone this is Gayle. \u00a0We are in Arusha and now have access to Internet. \u00a0We have been blogging daily but unable to post so you will receive a lot to catch up. \u00a0What an awesome team I have. \u00a0Our first day at Light in Africa we prepared for the outreach clinics that we will be doing the next two days. \u00a0We had a session where the team practiced their assessments and my Tanzanian Assistant Julius was gracious to be a patient for us. \u00a0Please continue to pray for the team.<\/p>\n
