This is the progress on the new highway..........it is slowly being completed!
Of the 17 patients, 11 were diabetics! We talked about having the diabetic classes in this community again, since many of them are new to the clinic.
I had one patient who had several problems. She is a single lady with three daughters. I could tell she was not a very content person and she finally admitted that she is angry a lot. It is not very common that mothers talk about their children as she did. She does not participate in a church but she told me that she believes in God. I talked to her about how God can change her life if she will allow Him to. She shed a few tears and told me that she would think about it.
Her youngest daughter came back for a consult since she has had a stomach ache. I asked the young girl what she thought about if someone mentioned God. She said, "He is our father and He lives in heaven." I asked her if she would want to visit the church on Sunday and she said, "Yes." I am hoping that this mother does visit on Sunday and that she will allow God to change her life.
After clinic, we stopped at a nearby home for lunch. We had beans, rice, chili, tortillas and lemonade. It was wonderful!
When I arrived in Chichi, it had just started to rain. This rainbow peaked out as the sun started to shine.
I look forward to clinic tomorrow in Lemoa.
