So we just did another medical camp. Last week I met up with a fellow missionary. We had met at the good friday service just before our last medical camp and he had said he wanted to merge medical camps with his evangelism. I of course was very happy to meet with him. We had a couple of discussions and on Thursday night he was telling me sunday we would have a camp. He didn't know how many would come, maybe 10 maybe 75. My students couldn't come unfortunately because they work then and so it was just michael and me Mr Smith's cambodian counterpart. As we drove there it started to rain - the typical monsoon rain. Luckily we got rain coats but unfortunately my pants were still soaking wet. We didn't know exactly how to get there but as God would have it, we ended up at the wrong place, a place michael has been wanting to minister in for a while. A slum amongst the graves. When he first said that I just thought it meant near the graveyard, but it's literally in the graveyard with homes built in between. We arrived and thought it was the place. There are plates on the graves. We sat in the chief's house and waited till we figured out where to go and the rain stopped. And then we were gone again. The funny thing is that 2 families - the arranging family and the family whose house I stay it both went there, knowing it would rain and knowing Michael and I were coming and neither offered us a ride, but only because we were in a moto did we find this place, because in a car you would never see it. So God is great. A guy actually waited to give us directions to this place when we were lost. Our little angel from God. :)
We got to the site and it was chaotic. There were 10 non patients using all the chairs sitting in the clinic :) No one was listening to what I had to say about crowd control. I missed the students. It runs so smoothly with them in charge :0 But we soon got everything going smoothly. Michael got to be a "doctor" and by the end I wasn't second guessing everything he said cause he could use the cheat sheet I had created and was learning quickly. I didn't have time to pray with my patients like I wanted but it was a great camp. We saw about 40 people in 4 hours - not bad for a solo doctor if I do say so myself :) If I stayed here I think I could do clinics all over cambodia continuously, there is such a need. I had "patients" over all weekend :) But it was nice. Keeps me busy. There is so much to do in this country and so little time :) Please pray for cambodia
