Today we all were in Lemoa together and we had 22 patients. It was a good day for clinic.....a little rain, a little cold and a little sun. For lunch we walked through the corn field to our usual place for lunch. We had beef soup and tamalitos. She kept bringing the tamalitos and we kept eating them. They were warm and very fresh.
After lunch we had a meeting to understand how Marcos will be working with us and which team would clean teeth daily during the mobile clinics. We began looking at our schedule for 2008 and trying to decide how to serve different communities to the best of our ability. We may be able to increase some clinics to twice a month and others we may begin to visit once a month.
The work is so important and I don't ever want to lose the true focus......yes, the physical aspects are important but the physical realm is only temporary. Today Juan, Gaspar and I had separate conversations with patients who had several questions about the Church. Juan talked to one patient about the spiritual world being eternal.......that eventually we will not need medicine or have pain. They seemed to have genuine interest so you never know what seeds are being planted.
The guys have a serious side to them but they also can cut up-------this photo is of Gaspar modeling his new "man-purse." It was delivered to him today during our meeting and of course, I wanted a photo. He said he wanted a new one to carry his Bible in. It is even lined! Watch out dad...........Christmas will be here soon :):):)
