Today we went a different direction. The MVP team here wants to hand out beans and rice. We took Saul and went to find a place for them to do this. We went past San Manuel and almost to Villanueva. We then turned on a dirt road and quickly found ourselves in a very poor area.
Cindy’s medical practice is still growing. She has six in her “practice” and has made several new friends with the kids as she goes in and out of houses. Today she may have started training her new photography assistant and christened her as an enfermera pequena (little nurse) as Cindy had her helping put some lotion on one of the children (patients). Her name is Fanny and she’s about 10.
Saul took our truck and headed to Danli today. He is taking some money to help out one of the pastors there pay for a medical test he needs and to help another pastor get his national ID card so he can come to the Bible Institute in February. It’s about a six hour drive and it’s an adventure.
Brad checked all the student houses for the Bible Institute to see what work was needed on each one and then walked up to the Bible Institute. While he was standing on the second floor balcony he looked behind him and there was a rainbow. It was neat being so high up that he was looking straight across at the top of the rainbow. While he was at the Bible Institute one of the pastors (Marcial) was cutting the grass with his machete. As Brad was leaving the building Marcial was taking a break so they sat and talked for a brief time. With a limited Spanish vocabulary all conversations are brief.
