Tired Arrivals


This week we had several newly arrived families at the clinic. The one that stole my heart was this one. Mom, Dad and 6 young children. So tired from the long journey to America these kiddos zonked out on one of the benches in the hallway. They are so precious and I can't tell you how much I instantly love them. It truly makes me so grateful for all that God has blessed me with. I am proud to live not only in a country but a city that opens up their arms to people seeking a better life.

This photo was taken on Tuesday.
New arrivals come on Tuesday and then again on Thursday to the clinic.

Here we are sacked out once more amidst all the noise in the hallway -
Burmese, Karen, Arabic, Bosnian Nepali - not to mention English - all speaking at once in their small groups. This is what I love about working where I do.
