Winding it up

We can hardly believe the measles immunization campaign is almost over and we are going home. We've had some very difficult challenges. Not one thing has been easy or simple, but just when we started to feel overwhelmed and discouraged, everything worked out, just like President Hinckley said it would. "Things will work out, keep trying, be believing, be happy, don't get discouraged, things will work out." Those words have been on our wall and we read them every day. We are very grateful for the help we have received in this important project.

The leaders in the Ministry of Health are very appreciative of all we've done. We really feel like we made a difference. One official said we were like angels sent to rescue them. Many people who have never heard of the Church before, now know who we are and hopefully have a good impression.

This is a picture of one of the members of the Church working in a clinic. He is administering vitamin A drops to a child to boost his immune system. The head nurse at the clinic praised the members for beeing so dependable and working so hard. She was very happy.

Volunteering all day can make you hungry. One of our coordinators bought snacks and took them around to the members.

Two of the Young Single adults were records keepers. They counted the hundreds of children who came to get immunized. Each child gets a "tick" on the sheet.

We are starting to get good reports from all over. The members of the Church are out there serving their country in large numbers. They are making a difference.
