Thursday in Lemoa

This morning, Lisa picked me up and then we went to get Neva and JoLee. We had a clinic full and it was great. Glenn went with the other group to San Jose.

We began our usual clinic day with a short devotional. Marcos led us in some thoughts and then we prayed. We remembered that JoLee would be flying back to New York, that Glenn and Neva would be traveling to the coast for the eye clinic, for the activities of the local churches and the patients that we would be seeing today.

We then went outside and Gaspar led us in prayer with the patients.

Neva worked with Lisa and was able to "pick her brain." I am sure we wear her brain out sometimes :)

This gentleman comes and sees us for his diabetes. He has had several problems in his life but today he told me that he has worked out most of his problems and that he is, "very tranquil." He is walking for exercise and knows he needs to continue this. His blood sugar has been running high 200's and today it was around 120. He is on the right road!!

We finished seeing the patients and had a quick lunch of eggs, tortillas and a special salsa. It was very good!

Juan, Neva, JoLee and I went to visit Armando. He is the patient that we have been visiting in his him twice a month. He states that he does feel stronger. He also told us about a friend who he had not seen for quite a while and his friend also noticed the difference in strength. It is these little steps that are encouraging.

Armando's wife just had a baby and he is precious. Neva held the baby for a few minutes. I decided to wait until the next visit to see if they want a photo. I still try to be very careful with the camera.

Tomorrow, JoLee and I will go to Antigua and get her a shuttle to the airport on Saturday. It has been great having her here. We have had some wonderful meals in the local restaurants but the best one is The Dunham Restaurant! Soup, cheese, fresh baked bread, diet coke...........a great meal for any medical missionary!!! Thank you, Lisa and Kemmel!
