I always enjoy the opportunity to do a little teaching while in Honduras. This week we worked with Alison, who just graduated from medical school in Honduras, and Gracie, who is a senior premed student at LSU. They were both a big help in the operating room all week and hopefully learned a thing or two from an old surgeon. 

Proverbs 9:9. “Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.”

I can’t believe we are already halfway through our time in Honduras. It’s been a great week so far. We have already done over 30 operations between the three surgeons here. Not to mention lots of activities with kids and seniors, devotionals, great worship music,  and just getting to know the wonderful people of Honduras.  Looking forward to seeing what God has in store for us the rest of the week! More to come…

I hope you guys can join us for a special Healthline on KTBS Channel 3 later today. Hunter and Megan are going to be in the studio with me today telling their story. They have both had a gastric bypass and have gone through an amazing transformation.  We will start with a live teaser on the news around 11:50 and the live show is from 12:00 to 12:30. You can also catch it online or on the KTBS app. I hope everybody tunes in!
