This morning I headed over to Brother Darren's house to pick him up for a medical clinic that we were going to hold in El Higuero. Just before I arrived at his house, he called my cell phone and told me that he was not going to be able to make due to the fact that he was feeling very sick. He has a bad cough, fever and did not get much sleep last night.
Myself, along with Elisabeth, Mary, Jonathan, Pastor Nathan, and Max (a young man from Germany) headed out to El Higuero. I had taken some books along with my bible thinking that I would have time to study today while the medical clinic was going on, boy was I wrong. When we arrived myself and Elisabeth tried to get the school set up for the clinic. The medical group did not arrive till around 11:30am and I ended up being the go between the Dominicans and themMedical group. Little did they know that I can not really speak spanish yet. I had the pleasure of handing out the numbers to the Dominicans! We made up little tickets with numbers on them all the way up to 100. Let's just say it was like I was handing out dollar bills! I'm very thankful that Elisabeth and Mary went along. They did a great job translating and helping out with the clinic. The doctors were able to see over 125 people today in about 5 hours. Below are some pictures from today:

| After we were done with the clinic, we went into a poorer part of the town to hand out some bags of chips and some coloring pencils to the children. This baby boy had worms in his stomach that makes it bloat. |
