Thursday Redo

Ok… here is a new edition of my Thursday blog… this time hopefully the pictures will end up being posted as well. If you need an excuse for a poor attempt at a blog—I was in a sweltering internet café (poorly lit, dingy cubby hole with an old computer). I had walked several blocks by myself while they were all still in the restaurant looking for an place with the internet. While they knew I left to find the internet, they didn’t know where I went to find it. I figured if I was gone too long they would worry I got lost. I was afraid they had finished and were waiting on me. Ok… enough of that.

I should have started my last post with Tuesday… the previous post was on Monday…

Tuesday was a wonderful day at the clinic. We observed in the clinic in the morning and helped to check in the cataract surgery patients. Then in the afternoon we got to observe cataract surgeries. There were six surgeries done on Tuesday afternoon, so we went in pairs and each observed one surgery plus part of another—a very interesting experience.

At lunch we convince one of the persons who has been cooking for us to eat with us instead of waiting to eat until we were done. Several people served her in the way that she had been serving us. She was overwhelmed and happy. She was so happy that as we were washing up after the meal she gave Logan and Andrea a hug and kiss on the cheek. Before the meal she saw herself as one who was hired to serve us. After the meal she saw herself as our friend. The love of Christ breaks all social and language barriers and boundaries.

The description of Wednesday and Thursday were pretty accurate in the last blog. Our encounters in the various hospitals have been wonderful experiences. We have been so graciously received everywhere we have gone.
