After much anticipating
Katie Wulf arrived to the Dominican Republic 3 weeks ago!! She is a nurse from Omaha, Nebraska and has made a two year commitment with SI!! She brings with her more than 8 years of experience in neonatal care. I am so excited to see how God will use her!! Never could I have dreamed several years ago that our medical team would expand as it has!! God is awesome!!

In September we also welcomed Edelyn as our third assistant. She is on scholarship with SI like Caroly and Dianny and started her freshman year this semester studying bioanalysis.

We are looking forward to giving a tropical medicine teaching session in one of our communities (Angosto) tomorrow. I was so excited to be approached by the director of the school! Students don't get any health care training in public schools so whenever Fernando and I are approached to give a charla (teaching session) we take advantage!
We continue to lead clinics in 7 communities...Angosto, Corocito, Mata de Platano, Los Corrales, Buenos Aire and La Joya!
November will be filled with two teams....the first a two week outreach with the discipleship program LIFT and another with a one week team from Santiem. We are excited to have help and continue to serve God side by side with participants!
I hope you are all having a blessed fall!!
