Day 4..

I have been so blessed with all that I have been able to do and experience here. Even though everything has not gone exactly to plan I have just had the most incredible experience of my life..and its not even over. The people we have met are just so grateful for us to be there. God has completely changed my life through this experience. Today we got up and went to Ng'undu and the ladies of the church made us "tea" again which really means breakfast (field corn, arrow root, sweet potatoes, muffins and bananas). The first day we were at the clinic there were a couple of people that came and we were able to help. The problem is that there is one exam room and most of the people that are coming do not speak very good English. But we try to communicate and the nurse is always there to help. The nurse that is there never does an assessment she just listens to what they think is the problem, so she was stunned when we had our stethoscopes and all our other nursing equipment. They also have a lab tech that works there and it is so amazing that between those two people they can completely run the clinic. Most of the people that we have seen have had malaria, worms, or lung infections. They also do have immunizations that they can get there so some people come in for those. When we are not doing clinic work we are helping outside laying bricks for the maternity addition to the clinic. We had to carry about 250 bricks and each one weighs approx 41.8 lbs so needless to say, my arms and legs feel like rubber. Then we were able to start "mudding" with the cement and I am an expert. We ate lunch at about 3 and we had (mu kee mu (a pumkin leaf, potatoes corn mix), rice, beef stew, and oranges). We were very tired and dirty when we got home...but it was an amazing day!

Day 5 was one of the best days Ive had here so far but i have to run because we are going to to the masai market to buy my mother some fabric so you all are going to have to wait in suspense :))
