Happy Birthday, Maria!

We returned to San Jorge today and were very busy with 27 patients. It was Maria's birthday so we took her a cake.....and the poor lady had to suffer while we sang to her :) She was very pleased and appreciative. This photo is of Martin and Maria with their girls.

Today another Church member, Pedro, came and prayed with the patients. It is so important for the Church to see this as their ministry and to take an active role during the clinic.

I watched Maria as she cleaned out lunch in the pila before she cooked it. She skillfully had plucked the chicken and was cutting it up. The dogs, cats, chickens and goat waited patiently as she tossed parts of the unwanted chicken to them. All were salivating as they were hopeful that they would catch the next toss. I did not know that chickens ate chicken.......but I am learning more every day.................
