Jackie and I met Gaspar and Juan in Chichi this morning and we headed to Chuchipaca. We had a good clinic with 22 patients. Before we started clinic Gaspar talked to the patients about the importance of teeth cleaning. We have not had a very good response from the patients wanting their teeth cleaned so he talked to them about this. They asked a few questions and seemed to have a little interest so we will see what happens. We continued with prayer and then began seeing patients.
One mother brought 5 of her 9 children today. Most of them had not been eating well, while some had diarrhea or a cough. One of the little girls has some type of dwarf syndrome. She seemed very happy and healthy but was wondering why her knees were different. I have seen one other child like this since I have been here. I told Jackie I did not want to focus on making the little girl feel like she was sick......she is very bright, energetic and happy. We talked about everyone being different and that is ok.......we are all made different.....she listened and smiled as we talked to her mom and sisters. I told her the most important thing in our life was not how tall or how short we are but that we love God and want a relationship with him......our size does not matter to Him. Gaspar invited them to attend the worship on Sunday and hopefully we will see them again.
After clinic, Jackie and I walked around Santa Cruz and checked out the market. Dinner was with the steak lady near my house.
Tomorrow we will have English Class, check out the market in Chichi and attend worship in the afternoon..............good night :)
