Tuesday

We had another great day here in Bolivia.
The medical team went to the same location as Monday. We were busier, we saw 90+ people today. The people were so thankful that we were there. Debbie was wonderful and so very helpful. One story that John Kelly wanted me to share from Monday was about a comical mistake, after the fact. Dr. John had removed a mole from a lady´s eyelid and she later decided she wanted one take off of her neck. Following that procedure she was holding her chest and saying pressure, as interpreted by Lindy. So Dr. John was very concerned, he and Dr. Patricia took her blood pressure and were trying to make sure she was ok, and not having a heart attack. So Debbie, the interpreter, came over and started talking to the lady. She was very sad that her son had just moved to Costa Rica for a better job and so her heart was sad for him. So, there was no need for the alarm and the lady was not having a heart attack. Lindy will have a hard time living this one down.
The team that was at the orphanage layed a subfloor for a sidewalk, cemented walls, prepped walls for painting, and cut out pieces for counters. They also painted, sanded, and cleaned furniture for the coffee shop that they have been working on. This team had lunch with the kids, they also had time to play with the kids and pass out stickers and candy, which they loved. This team has been very excited about interacting with the kids in addition to all that they are accomplishing in the coffee shop.
The team at the watershed finished the roof they were working on. They worked on making work benches for this area, one is complete and they will work on the other one tomorrow. They painted the shelves that they constructed on Monday. On Wednesday they will be working on putting up a wall and flooring for this area.
All of the teams returned to the hotel for a time of praise and worship before having dinner at the hotel. Then most of the group walked back to Fridoline that had such wonderful desserts.
We are having a great time and accomplishing lots of things for the people of Bolivia, please continue that God blesses the work we are doing here! Thanks!!!
