The 2010 Medical Mission served just under 2000 people in either medical, dental, vision, or mental health care. And new this year is that the mission also served communities with veterinary care.
Over the next future e-Messenger articles, we will take a look at individual villages and how the Mission of Miracles served their needs. This article contains several reflections from members of the 2010 team.
A story from Nurse Mary O’Neill:
It was hot already when we arrived midmorning. People were calmly lined-up to be seen. My assignment was to work with Dr. Daniella. As I arranged a workstation, a woman approached Dr. Daniella to ask a favor.

Reflections
PRAISE TO ALL FROM BISHOP ADAMS
I could tell you some stories of the many folks of El Salvador that we met during our week, but I want to do something a bit different. My story is of all of you, an extension of my sermon from our last day if you will. I want you to know that is was an incredible honor to serve next to each and every one of you. I meant what I said that I did and can see Christ in each of you. Often I would look around the rooms we were in to observe the work you were doing. I saw radical acts of kindness, many of you on your knees at times - looking at wounds of soul as well as those physical; listening intently to words of fear and I hope at times joy; offering comfort and perhaps even hope; honoring another person's humanity through a touch, a gentle prick of a finger, even taking blood pressures. My experience as I looked around was this: This is what love looks like. And you are just that - the incarnation of love. So again I say thank you. You are another on this earthly journey who helps expand my heart.
And I am grateful - always. Peace and God's love to all of you, Skip
