Friday in Paxot II

We met at the hotel for breakfast and then went in two different directions.......Xepocol and Paxot II. Our group went to Paxot and we had a good day.

I drove the Suk, which I love. Josefina, Neva and I rode in it to clinic. We had a good time as we drove through the mud and hoped for the best! We sang songs that we knew in English and Spanish...................we were preparing for clinic :)

This is Adam, who is serving as our chaplain this week. He also brought me some Diet Dr. Pepper......thank you, Adam!!

These were two of our young patients.

Jala is demonstrating her skills as a nurse. This is her second time down.........................I think she will return!

We had a very good lunch of fried chicken, rice, beans and tamalitos.

This is Adam, Josefina, Mike and Jana. Mike is Jana's dad.

This is Kristina, checking out a baby. I translated for a few patients with Kristina and then I went to work in the pharmacy.

We saw 21 medical patients, had 75 dental patients and 7 dental cleanings.

When most of the patients were done, Donna and Robert wanted to visit their ABC Child that lives near by. We jumped into the Suk and drove to their house. They were home and very excited to see Donna and Robert.

They gave a piece of material to Donna. The mother folded it and placed on Donna's left shoulder.

Robert proceeded to show the gifts they brought. They really liked the plastic truck that can run on the cement. They also liked the pencils and stickers.

When all of the patients were seen, we loaded the trucks and headed home. We were told we would have problems passing on parts of the road......but someone else told us we would have not problems so we went for it. There was a lot of mud but all of us stayed on the road and we are always thankful for that.

How wonderful Sheri! Reminds me of medical clinics we helped out with in the Philippines.
Such a wonderful way to "be" the church.
