Our first clinic day was...long...big...and blessed.  The small village of Nueva San Jose turned out at the school house to be seen for eye exams, deworming and medicines.  Eye clinic saw 53 people.  Deworming gave meds to 250 people.  And the medical clinic served 309 people. 
Sylvia started us off with reminding the towns people that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.  She blessed our day together.  7 children were referred for further examination and evaluation, including 3 cardiac problems, one failure to thrive, and a three year old who couldn´t walk. 
One mother who came to see us had 7 boys, all under 12.  She was just like a mother duck, counting heads where ever she went.
We have all learned our roles very quickly.  Tuesday night and Wednesday night we will be staying in the large town of Santa Barbara.  We may or may not have internet access, so this may be the only blog until Thursday night.
Thanks again for your love and prayers.
