We're down to six days before the World Mercy Teams crew takes a red eye to Oaxaca, however none of us are sitting on our laurels just waiting. It takes a lot of preparation...and prayer. Please continue to pray that we remain healthy and strong before we leave. Pray that we will make it through customs with everything we pack and that the people in Mexico laying the groundwork for our arrival will have everything they need.
Today we inventoried medications and supplies before packing eight bags to the airline's 50-pound weight limit. All of our supplies are donated or purchased through financial donations to World Mercy Teams.
There will be five clinics in various locations, although we will be based in Juxlahuaca about four hours north of Oaxaca City. There are two docs, a nurse, a pharmacist and assistant and two medical assistants traveling with us. Another doc and a dentist, several translators and other mission support folks from Mexico will also be there to help.
Please continue to pray for our team as we prepare to leave our families, work and other parts of our lives to help treat hundreds of people. Pray for our health and that we have all the supplies we will need. Also pray for the people who will serve with us and the people God will bring to us for healing.
Many blessings and thank you for your prayers and support.
