Today was our first day of clinic in Barrio Mariano Melgar. We were all together in one big room, which was nice since we a short of translators etc, it was easy for me to run from pharmacy to occulista and back again to help translate.
We saw alot of people today, and I think we will have more tomorrow.
Here´s the latest on Janie. She was able to fly to Lima this morning from Juliaca. She arrived in Lima around mid day and is in the hospital there overnight. She will then go to a hotel that the missionaries stay in and will return to the US with us on Friday. Gary and Jennifer were not able to get out of Juliaca today due to a transportation strike. I am not sure if they will be able to rejoin our team at all because we only have tomorrow for clinic and then we are headed to Juliaca on Thursday am. We met a Peruvian Dr. who came and worked at the clinic this afternoon so we were able to see medical patients today.
The Bible Storying went well at the original location, but the other two did not work out. One of them was supposed to be in someone´s home and they changed their mind about having it and one was supposed to be at our new clinic site. We showed up there last night and waited an hour and nobody came. This is not really suprising because the people didn´t really know us, as we had not had our first clinic day yet. We are going back tonight and hopefully someone will come.
It is still very cold here. Last night when I was walkng back from the Bible Storying the water in the puddles was already frozen over.
Please continue to pray for Janie and the whole team as we wrap up this trip tomorrow. There have been lots of obstacles thrown at us, but we have still had a great trip.
