Guaymas 2020
The year of the
Optometrist
-By Dr. Luke-
What an interesting way to start a
trip...on the way down to Mexico, in Arizona, we stopped to eat at a
restaurant and there was a crash right out front. Bob, a retired
police officer, and I ran to the scene to make sure everyone was ok.
I called 911 and we checked on everyone...thank the Lord, only the
vehicles were badly damaged. We went back inside when the police and
fire trucks showed up. The crew from Chicago flew into Arizona, I
drove to meet them and we all rented buses for the last 5-6 hours of
the trip south to Mexico.

| Doctor Dave and I |
It was a truly wonderful week with such
good friends, new and old! It was and is always a pleasure to work
with Dr. Dave. He was the one that invited me to my first ever
mission trip and he holds such a special place in my heart. Dr.
Brittany was there too...she was on the first trip also. The three
of us ended up being the only docs on the trip, as the students were
unable to make it this year. The rest of the team was incredible as
we worked together to see around 800 patients in 7 days...wow!
Those cases always make me feel sad and heavy.
It's not good news to share with them, but it does amaze me each
time to see the strength in these beautiful people when they realize
that this life is not the end. Their story, and mine, will not end
here. That thought gives me such hope.
I'm so thankful at this time
for what the Lord has done for me. I remember that He has saved me,
He has bought me, and He has cleansed me with His blood that He shed
on the cross.
“My hope is found in
nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness.”
