Subject: Honduras Mission Report

Holland,

Thank you for your help and training in putting together or Dental/Eyeglass mission trip to Honduras.  We saw 326 patients and gave out 205 used eyeglasses, and 300 new reader glasses.  We also warned several people that they may have glacoma and should see an eye doctor.  

We brought approximately 4,500 pair of used eyeglasses and around 800 new reading glasses.  We should have plenty for our return trip to Tegucigalpa next Februrary 2010.  

By the way we also saw around 250 patients for teeth cleaning and dental work.  

Attached our some pictures of our clinic just outside of Tegucigalpa.

We had a prayer meeting every morning and worked our Lord's message into our patient time.

So schedule us for next February for the equipment loan.

God Bless You!

Richard Jones

"Eternity is a long time to languish over what we should have done."

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, ...He will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.' (Matthew 31-36)
