DR PURE WATER - CONT'D
pharmacy team was awesome. At this point it should be noted that this team
consisted of purely competent people who went beyond competence and treated the
patients with compassion and love as much as they did with their competence. Very,
very little of what my son and I accomplished could have been achieved without the
support an encouragement of the medical team. The medical team believed in the
power of prevention and they saw the importance of providing safe water to the
people that they were treating.
Speaking of support and encouragement reminds me of Deacon Biddle and of the
Sullivans who worked together to remind everyone that our strength, competence,
and all the special talents are gifts from God. When Deacon Biddle preached and
sang hymns, it was as if his ecclesiastical garments had transformed him into a
superhero. When the Sullivans led us in prayer, I found the lump in my throat
choking the words and tears blurring my vision.
The visit to the Dominican Republic was a complete, unmitigated, success and once
again the Prescribing Prevention safe potable water project is roaring ahead with jet
speed! :-)
