Clinic in La Estancia

This morning, Martina and I drove to Santa Cruz to meet the guys. Then we rode with Marcos, Ruben and Tomas to La Estancia. It was a cool morning and there was no sunshine.

When we arrived, there were only a few patients waiting and they were dental patients. As we set up the clinic, Ruben gave the owners of the home a 2012 calendar. We went through the schedule for the year, writing down all of the dates for clinic........hoping that this will encourage then to announce the clinic a little more.

Sitting on the corner of the patio was a nesting turkey. After watching her a few minutes, a few chicks popped their heads out to see what was going on.

She decided that she needed to stretch her legs so then we got a better view of her family.

There were 13 babies and one egg left to be hatched.

We ended up with 17 dental patients and 4 medical patients.

This young guy has pneumonia and was feeling much better after a couple of breathing treatments and some Tylenol.

After we saw all of the patients, we enjoyed a lunch of beef soup and tamalitos. It was really good for a cold afternoon.

Tomorrow, we are going to have the new clinic in Chicua. Ruben will pick me up at 0720 and then we will go and get Gaspar and Juan. I think it will be a wonderful day and pray that we will be able to help people both spiritually and physically.
