Highlights!

Cushay! How d'body?
There's so much to tell y'all but for now i'll just hit a couple highlights...
*Seeing the ship sail in last Sunday! because there were soo many precious people in it, waving and waiting to hug the stuffing out of us! But mostly because hope and healing was approaching the dock. The fact that we're actually going to be able to do more than build walls, etc. while we're here... lives are going to be transformed from here on out!
*Setting up the dental clinic! We're ready! Our team was able to get our container off the ship by Monday afternoon, and unloaded at the clinic that is just outside the port where we'll be working! It's a fantastic facility, God has provided beyond what we were imagining. We are so blessed and can't wait to start treating patients!
There have been a lot of ups and downs (low and highlights) the last month while we've been in Freetown but the 2 highlights i've mentioned are the big ones. I'll continue to share the stories from those weeks soon. But tomorrow is the big day! Thousands of people have already been seen around the country and many of them scheduled to receive a free surgery onboard, but tomorrow we will see perhaps thousands more. It will be an incredible day and we're all praying for those God has prepared for this moment in time and excited to be part of it!
Please be praying for wisdom and peace over this important day!!
