Well the 2 week caravan is coming to an end... The time, in a country where time runs slow, has flown. One more day of Clinic, and then Dr. Bill and Penny will reluctantly return home. The joy of my staying behind, however, is wonderful! 6 or 7 more weeks to absorb, serve, work hard, travel, rest, reflect... sounds delicious. I will probably move to a room off the clinic. Even tho the Caravan will not be here, that is where I will spend much of my time, and where the center of the medical ministry is. I will sleep there, work there, shower (outside...), and eat in the small kitchen. I may prepare my own meals, or eat with some of the Hebron staff members. I will spend time with the Secretary each day to work on Spanish. Jan and I are excited about doing a Bible study together. Both of us need it! Another lady may join us. She lives in Ocosingo, is American, but is married to a Mexican and has lived here for many years. Jan says she is very shy. We haven't decided what we will study yet. I will go out to several villages with 2 Para Medics to see pts. and bring medicines, and I will travel with Pastor Pablo to his village, Sibal, for a church dedication. It is always nice to have a Hebron Board rep. with him. The locals like that. It is such a relationship we have built.
