Day 15

Thursday

This was pretty good. We went to some area practically in the middle of nowhere and did our little screening/clinic there. We got to take one of the ER docs from the hospital so that we could give some medications and she could write prescriptions. The place we went was a training center of sorts for missionaries. They taught them various things to allow them to enter into other countries that may not accept missionaries otherwise. For example, they are teaching them to be nature guides of some sort, and they use this to share about how important God's creation is and how He has given it to us and how we can take care of it. They had lots of animals, which I also have a couple pics of and it was a neat little place. So we were there for a couple of hours and did the same thing.... most people here seem to be dehydrated and constipated. Saw some kids with scabies and one lady who had lupus. (For House fans: I know! It's never lupus! How could it be? :-)

In the afternoon, I guess it was mostly relaxing or something. I kind of forget now. All the days run together a bit. What I cannot at all forget is the evening event. hehe We had learned from a couple of kids from the youth group about this little skit thing called gospel clown. It's an evangelistic tool and it's really funny to watch. Well, some of us will be doing it July 7th (So you can be praying for this!) and we were teaching the others how to do it, since we will be gone once they do it again. We dressed up in these huge clothes and put on these noses and it was hilarious. It took forever. We also had basically no food and had to wait for Tomás to bring some eggs and milk home. While we practiced, the Canadians (as I call them... it's just easier then saying James & Johan) made pancakes for us and it was delightful. We had a lot of fun and have a lot of practice to do before we get it down....some of the Spanish is a bit difficult. I may explain it later it more detail because it's a cute presentation...but I am just too tired to do that now.
