Lydia is our wonderful nurse here with us in Lima, Peru. Her and her husband came with us on this awesome trip. She has seen so many people and feels their joy and happiness. But she also feels frustration of not being able to help these people more. Seeing a child having a seizure and the mother asking.....don't you have anything to help him? Rapping up a child's arm that she has bitten so many times that it is completely infected but knowing the rapping will only last a few days. Only having tylonol to give to people who are in so much pain.
But one great God thing that happened today was that she saw a woman with ringworm so bad that it completely covered her entire torso. It was probably the worst case of ringworm Lydia had seen. She did not have any antibacterial cream....only tylonol.... She dug through the bag of tylonol not knowing why because she knew tylonol was NOT going to help this woman......At the very bottom of the bag of tylonol, was ONE tube of antibacterial cream. Enough for this woman to get relief and get rid of the ringworm!!! God is so faithful and good!!!
