Yesterday's mobile clinic was in the mountains. Several of us found the trip very difficult to our stomachs! We asked someone at the hospital -- "We're not going to the mountains again, are we?"
"Absolutely not," was the answer.
We should have been more careful with how we asked the question.
We did not work in the mountains -- we worked on a plateau. Of course, you have to drive through the mountains to get there!
But fortunately, the trip was not as difficult for us!
The mobile clinic was set up at a house far from any village and from any paved roads. Still, many Haitians gathered at the house and we were able to see 102 patients. I asked when the last time a mobile clinic had visited this location. This was the first time. Many of these people had not seen a doctor before.
Tonight I had my first tour of the hospital where we are staying. When I have more time, perhaps I can share ore of what the hospital is like. John VanBrunt also showed me the chapel, which was painted by one of our earlier mission teams. Our mission teams do more than the medical type of work here -- painting, doing carpentry work, teaching nursing staff, etc. This year, only Bill Kell is staying at the hospital to do any work. He is doing electrical work while the rest of us are engaged in the mobile clinics.
Continue to keep us in your prayers!
