After a long first day of working out the kinks we got a good nights rest…sleeping pills are our best friend  We were up and ready to go for our second day…..we didn’t know if any of the translators and volunteers would show up after the organized chaos of the first day. To my surprise many of the volunteers came back…..for all of the team these local church volunteers have been the highlite of our trip. I talked with one man, Vincent, today and he expressed that this volunteer opportunity has transformed him in the last two days….he described it as him opening up and finding “a place” where he fit. This is so sweet to hear….because 6 months ago we came and we were determined to have the local churches involved in serving….to promote the Christian lifestyle of service (something that is somewhat missing in their discipleship). It is so awesome to see this happening. After seeing nearly 200 the first day…we were ready to see a lot more. Nurses are acting as doctors and we are flying through people. We saw well over 200 people for medical. Dental has been an incredible service and much needed. Dr. Veley and his daughter are amazing. They have equipment where they can take x-rays on a laptop and do extractions that require surgery. They are trying their best to see as many as possible. They can see about 12-15 a day….but we have more than 150 people on the waiting list. Today there was a small boy who we triaged for dental….I personally looked in his mouth…it was full of blood and his teeth were rotted in the back…the pain was soooo bad that his neck was swelling. I was so happy to see him get a spot today….and then heart broken when I went back to check on the dentist and realized the boy had to leave because he could not remain calm for the dentist to do the work. I talked with the boy and his mom to ask if he had any comfort toys/blankets or anything….we had to ask him to come back tomorrow morning. I was torn up. I had to leave to start setting up the clinic at the stadium….and then I returned to the dream center….and I was told the boy came back with his dad….and he was stiff as a board as he had the anesthetic applied and the tooth pulled. Apparently they had a “man talk” as the dentist put it  Tomorrow we need so much prayer. We will be trying to run two clinics at the same time in two separate districts of the city. We are tired….but our team is the best ever. We love each other and laugh all the time. The amazing part of it is that we now have about 25 or more people working in the compassion connect clinics from all over the US….and we are one team working together serving alongside our brothers and sisters in Kigali.
