On Thursday, I got to spend the morning with G and her family. I carried the cassette player and the Good News book. We sat and listened to the story in their language. 
In the afternoon we visited the M village which is several miles south of our town. We had sent the men off from another village the day before and they had spent the night and trekked to some other villages that morning.
S has leprosy in one of her hands. Our friends were able to get her to a doctor who has help stop the spread through medicine. She is passionately reading the gospel of John. As she read the story of Jesus feeding the 5000, she looked up with a wow expression and said with much enthusiasm "He really did feed 5000 people." It was wonderful seeing how excited she is about God's word.
The men bought okra while on the trek so dinner went from being Mexican to home food. I got to wash the okra with clorox and then fry it. It was delicious.
Friday was the second clinic. The crowd was huge when the door opened. The people were very impatient. Before anyone was seen at the clinics, Tristen and H shared stories with them. It seemed to calm them down for a while.
