Africa so far

Hello all,
I am Luke, the youngest of the Hankinsons. Today in the O.R. I saw a stump revision on a women whose leg had been amputated as a result of her diabetes. I also saw a nine year old who had a problem called club foot. I also saw a baby who had this condition today. This is the third time I have been to the O.R. and each time I am surprised!
Over the trip I have realized that us Americans have so many extra things that we don't need. Over this one week that I have not had the common American things such as T.V. and such. Without these things I have been spending more time with others and I have also been less distracted and I have been more focused on GOD. Yes I have computer but I can only spend about ten minutes on a day and when I am on I am either skyping my Mom or on facebook. Any how when I have taken the media out of my life i have been impacted positively.
Tomorrow I am going to spend the entire day at a city ministry who takes care of homeless boys. We will be helping at a clinic at the shelter. I am very excited and will try to tell you all about it.
Luke
