Day 7

Today was our last day working at a clinic and I can say we definitely

ended with a bang. We served in a little town at a chicken farm

in the city of Santiago. We saw 80 patients and finished strong. It was

another hot day but we made sure we were under some trees and

had a little breeze. There were chickens walking around us all day and

the owner of the house had a parakeet that was squawking all day

long. Once we were done we were all exhausted. After five days of

setting up, working all day long, taking down, going to bed and starting over

the next day it can really take its toll. But like I have mentioned over

and over again, no one ever complained. In fact Conner Henderson

mentioned in his thought for the day that he had only heard one person

complain the whole week and that was Austin the day he had the

stomach flu and was throwing up. He was complaining that he

felt so useless that he couldn't help. So the only person complaining

was doing it because he wanted to work. I thought that was pretty

awesome. After we finished up we headed to our new hotel to check

in for a day of relaxing and reflecting. The hotel is extremely nice and

will be a great way to end the trip. Great job to the group!!!!!

Junior and Tony. They drove the bus and helped set up and

take down everything throughout the week. We LOVE them!

This is Austin. He came last year with his school class and

had such an amazing life changing experience that he got a tattoo

when he got home to remember this special experience. We

thought it was so awesome that a week long trip doing what

we did had so much impact on someone. It says 1,2,3 equipo which

is what we say every morning before starting the day. Equipo means Team.

We LOVE Dr. Patricia

Roy doing some amazing cases. He really changed some

peoples lives today with the smiles he fixed.
