GRACE ’12 I – FRIDAY, 2/3/12

Written by Teddie on February 4th, 2012

A blessed Friday.  Almost all of the team left early headed to climb a volcano – Pacaya.  I am told they had a good time.

The afternoon was spent with dedications for the building team while the medical folks did another few hours in El Rodeo which is where they were yesterday.  Everything went very well for both teams.

Lisa and I spent the morning at a private hospital in Antigua.  One of our team members fell Thursday afternoon and gave us a good scare.  Long story short – Dr. John Gissal was on site within a few minutes and he then went with him to meet Dr. John Nicely who then took him to the hospital.  The end result was a fracture of the hip with the diagnosis being eight weeks of rest.

Lisa and I went to bring him from the hospital this morning as he was discharged around 11:00AM.  He is on crutches but is resting well in the mission house.  Pray for his flights home tomorrow.  (We did not post this last night as we were waiting for his wife to be told by him today)

We had a share time tonight before supper and it was a blessed time.  This has been a really great group!  Several have already followed Don Redder’s lead and signed up for next year’s trip.

Thanks for checking on us.  Pray for us as we fly home tomorrow at 7:45AM, 8:45AM, and 1:47PM respectively.
