Wednesday

I know...probably a boring title.  This day was a simple day, waking up so that I could make it to the clinic by 6am to be with Joche & Elena.  I got them up & showered, bed sheets changed, swept & mopped the clinic and all was good by 7:30, when I had to go to the little girls house to wash up the dishes.

When I got back to the volunteer house, I took some time to do my devotion for the morning and then had a really long, good chat with Zue & Kimberly that lasted quite a bit more than an hour.  Kimberly & I headed back to the little girls house to prepare for lunch and get dishes done, then I headed back to the house to upload my Blog from yesterday.

On my way to ensenanza, I stopped in to see Katja (who had told Danny that she wanted to see me today).  There were a few small things that needed to get cleared up: Bob's arrival information, Kimberly's flight information, etc.  From the office, I went back to the little girls house to translate for Jodi and Norm for the ensenanza that they had prepared.  Their activity today was much simpler than Monday's activity...just coloring some teddy bears, although the girls are still in the process of learning how to share.

After ensenanza, Kimberly & I helped with supper and then with baths and finally sat out in the courtyard of the girls dorm combing for lice.  This has been a daily routine for us for a while now.  I went to chat with Andres about my meeting with Katja and then headed to the big girls house for their ensenanza in the evening, since there was no church tonight.  Zue gave her testimony and it was very powerful.  I'm glad that I was able to make it there!
