Shoes

The day started with a plan, as always. And as always in traditional HPC style, the plan got altered, realtered, then thrown in the trash. We had started with 400 flip flops to give away. Well, yesterday when we counted over 400 kids, we needed to buy more. God is so faithful! Isaac went to the "store"(i really don't know where he went) and proceeded to buy more. He purchased 200 more, and the lady donated at least 100 more, free of charge!!! So we were supposed to have 45 minutes in each session (which I was over snacks again, but this time, Isaac translated!). Have you ever brought your kid to the store to buy a pair of shoes, and not know what size they were? We had to size all the kids. Needless to say it took longer than 45 minutes. We also had Theresa Reymer over to do a sort of "clinic" during snack, which took longer than expected, so we had to be "flexible" (our word of the week). Anyway, we were able to give out 450 pair of flip flops (not including the adults), and we were able to check them also. Out of that many children, their health was not that bad. Only 30 of them needed medicine for this or that, but nothing serious. Amazing! We close tomorrow, and leave straight from there to the safari overnight, so won't be able to blog, or email until sometime Friday night (day for ya'll). I love ya'll! Bye!
