Medical Mission Trip

Due to a few changes in Justin's Senior schedule, he had the opportunity to go on a medical mission trip down to Baja Mexico. We have been there before with our friends from Valdosta three years ago - right before I knew I was expecting Addie. The mission/orphanage there has always had a special place in our hearts, and we really enjoyed being able to minister there. However, this was Justin's first venture on a medical mission trip, and he was excited to be able to use his budding knowledge and experience in medicine on this trip. He was able to sit in on a few eye surgeries and ran the general medicine side of the clinic the week he was there. Even though Addie and I missed him VERY much, we were thrilled he was able to serve the Lord in this new capacity.
Dressed and ready for a busy first day at the clinic!
With all of the surgical expertise on this trip - they carved a Scrabble board out of cardboard for their down-time enjoyment. Guess whose idea this was??!!
