Day Two of Clinic

Here´s the day two update. We didn´t have as many patients as we thought we would. But, of course, we were happy to see the ones that came. Dr. Brett Ford arrived here this morning and jumped right in seeing eye patients. It is great to have him here. We are starting the Bible Storying this evening at the clinic site. We are not sure how many people will come. Tomorrow will be the last day of the clinic at this site, we are moving on Monday to the other barrio. Our clinic will be in one big room there. We are also going to have Bible Storying there on Mon, Tues and Weds nights and Steve is scouting a third location.
It´s still cold, in fact I think it was colder last night than the night before.
Here are two funny things that happened today. First, we take this tricycle taxis out to this clinic site. This morning Gary and I shared a taxi and it was named ¨Titanic¨ For real, we took the ¨Titanic¨ to the clinic. Then at lunch time, we were wandering around looking for a place to eat and every where we went was closed. I told the guys ¨One more stop and then I´m going to Wendy´s¨ (Wendy´s is the name of a store next door to the hotel where we got cokes and chips the day before) Bret Ford said ¨There´s a Wendy´s here? What are we walking around for?¨
We have had water issues since we got here. When there is water, it is not hot. Jan Guidry gets the Iron Woman award for taking a cold shower and washing her hair. Gary measured the temp of the water coming out of the bathroom faucet at 36.4 degrees Yow!!!
That´s all for now. Keep us in your prayers.
