First Clinic of 2012

Today we had our first clinic of 2012.

When we first arrived, we found how dusty and dirty the clinic can be after not being used for three weeks. A construction crew has also been working and some floor molding had been set into place. Both of these activities really increased the amount of cleaning that needed to be done before we could start seeing patients.

We had our devotion together and we are very thankful to be looking at another year together. We have a lot to accomplish but with God's help, we can do it.

A few weeks ago, I posted a few photos of the the guys digging and making adobes. This was today's activity. The adobes have grown and continue to dry. You can see the addition behind the current clinic.
They told me today that it will take about two months to complete..........we shall see.

We had 14 medical patients and one patient for dental cleaning.

We had several diabetics and all of their blood sugars were extremely high. Some have not been coming to clinic and for others it may have been too many parties during the holidays.

After we finished seeing patients, we loaded the truck in preparation for tomorrow. Gaspar, Juan and I will go to Choacaman and see patients there.
