Day 1 at the hospital

The morning comes early... we're off to the hospital for 7:30am worship. It's so great to see so many familiar faces. Within devotion time the entire team was introduced to the group. Bill and I both received a warm welcome back with clapping hands, and the African handshake with our friends. They are so thankful to have us back. I'm so thrilled to be here again!

The morning was fresh and warm... for us. All the locals are complaining that it's cold and are donning fleece jackets. Me, I'm the one with the sleeveless top. I'm not sure of the temp in the morning (low 60s F), but it becomes toasty very quickly. ~ 95degF.

It's great to see our students again - they're all doing fine. We have one new student, Francois. In total we'll train 4 students. So we spent the morning scanning clinic patients and then did a quick introductory lecture in the afternoon. There is tremendous change at the hospital - lots of progress! Two more buildings (one of which was under construction during our visit 10 months ago) are up and third came up within the last month. A team from Indiana is here (for 3 weeks) putting up the structures. It's really come a long way!
