First day in the field

We arrived safely in Chinandega Friday evening and went right to work this morning.  Today´s work was conducting an eyeglass clinic in Israel.  Between the temperature and humidity, we were all soaked within the first few minutes and had to make an effort to stay hydrated throughout the day, but we fitted about 100 people with eyeglasses.  We made some new amigos in our interpreters and all the people who came to the clinic were very polite and appreciative.  We even had a local eye doctor come and help us out in the afternoon.
This is what we looked like on arrival:

And this is what we looked like a short time later:

    Looks like a beautiful place!

    Hopefully the crossed eyes will resolve themselves once you adjust to the heat? :P

    Be Safe

    Diving right into God's work! Empty seats in Church and Sunday school today will be a reminder of you working in the Mission field. God be with you.

    Praise the Lord the team all made it there safely. Those of us at home enjoying our air conditiong are feeling rather guilty. Who is that cross-eyed lady with the pink turbin? That can't be my daughter!!! LOL! We are all doing well on this end. We will continue to pray for your success.

    Lots of Love,

    I posted a reply on facebook yesterday to Jeff's post,but maybe u guys are not able to see that. I just stated that I was glad to know you arrived safely. Susan, the pictures are wonderful! I'ts amazing how u can be so far away from home & we can still see pictures and messages of what you're doing. Also, Kris nice pic-for some reason you remind me of Lucy (Lucille Ball). Love u anyway, maybe more for it. It takes guts to post a picture like that! LOL Love all of u-take care. My thoughts & prayers are w/you. Love, Sara
