Talofa! (Hello in Samoan)
Today, we opened the medical clinic, which included the optometry and passing out glasses, which I was assigned to. It was such a joy to be able to help people find glasses that they needed, many of whom have not been able to read clearly for a very long time. Many of the locals who came and got glasses were so surprised that they were free and were so overwhelmed. And in turn, it made us feel so happy to be a part of that experience.
The weather today was just amazing-- beautiful clouds and some unexpected light showers right after kids camp finished! Being a part of the kids camp was such a joy. We finished up at the clinic early so our whole team got to join in.
The meals here are amazing, and there's no where else in the world you would find anything like this. One of my favorites has been the "oka," which is raw tuna in coconut milk with diced cucumbers. Twice, we have had cold coconuts with a straw-- pure, fresh coconut water!
The people here have been so amazing to us, and I've been so blessed to be in God's service here. Thank you for your continued prayers!
