Clinic in Patzite

Manuel drove by the house to get me this morning. Usually, I meet him at the road but standing in the rain did not excite me. Maybe I am getting weak!

So, he drove by the house and we went on to Patzite since Tomas would meet us there. Tomas had called Manuel to tell his that we needed to take the long way around since one of the roads had been washed away. While we drove, we listened to the noticias on the radio. There have been 15 deaths due to the earthquakes yesterday and still, people are missing.

When we arrived, we carried everything up to where we would have the clinic. Tomas and one man from the congregation helped us. It is not a long walk but it is steep.

We had a total of nine patients. We were told that with the rains, not many people would come.
After the last patient, the sun peeked out a little. I sat on the steps as we waited until lunch.

This bull was tied near the house where we ate. He was not happy and through the morning let us know about it!! How can one bull make so much noise?

This is the beautiful view from Patzite.

We were offered lunch and it was fantastic. There is special recipe here where they take a vegetable, dip it in egg and cook it. Today we had green beans cooked with egg, cold beets, tamalitos, chili and coffee. It was sooooo good!!

The rains started as we were packing up the truck.

Tomorrow, we have clinic in LaPalma............now, that may be an adventure!!
