El Aquacata

Our translators have been great.  When people come in with frequent headaches the nurses explain that they need to drink more water since they are dehydrated.  Some people receive a talk about nutrition which the translators will tell the patient in Spanish.  Today Randee's translator, Bryan gave the talks to the patients all by himself before Randee had a chance.  Well done.

Jefferson has been the translator at the pharmacy.  He is given the bag with the drugs the doctors prescribed and he explains how much to take and how often.  He has been very patient with the people as they ask questions.

We are so fortunate where we live.  People can get cataract surgery as soon as their vision is impaired.  Here that type of care is not widely available.  As a result cataracts lead to blindness as was the case with this man, who, if he had the surgery ten years ago would be able to see.  But since the care was not available he is permanently blind and surgery won't help him now.  A brother in Christ is blind for something that could have been prevented.  Luke 12:48b  "From everyone who is given much, much will be demanded.  And from the one who is entrusted with much, much more will be asked."
