We are now anchored a few miles off shore of Vietnam. A little ironic we pulled in on Memorial Day… Everyone is anxious to get on land and start seeing patients. This is what we’ve been waiting for the past month! Can’t believe it took a month to get here (we go sooo slow!). But now we are here and now we have to be flexible. I’m sure it won’t be what we thought it would be…we have to be willing to adjust to the difficulties of language barriers, lack of supplies and sometimes lack of communication. But when we are done, we will have helped hundreds of individuals. People who wouldn’t have been able to afford medical care, surgery or medications. Please keep us in your prayers. We have several weeks of long days (sometimes 14-16hrs with little sleep), hot weather (heat index ranging in the low 100’s with HIGH humidity), frustrations (language barriers, communications and expectations) and few immediate rewards.
Please send positive/ inspiring quotes and reassuring words so I can share with my team! We’re so excited to be here but need your support. Happy Memorial Day! And God Bless the USA!
