Today we were at Valles which is the most established local church. Every saturday morning every local church has a ´feeding center´ where the kids come for a hot meal, sunday school type lesson with songs. We helped out today serving food at the Valles feeding center until about 11:30 and then we set up the clinic. This is traditionally our slowest clinic and today we only saw 33 people which was kind of a dissapointment. We were really tired out so the pace felt good but I just wished we could have seen more people. We are all practicing and learning more spanish and making lots of funny mistakes in the process. Here are some of our favorites with the word we meant to say in ( ):
Your blood pressure is a lot cheaper (better) today
I am going to take your temperature in your eye (ear) do not worry, it will not hurt
Do not worry, no one likes you (it) --in reference to poking a finger for a blood sugar
This cream is for your baby´s red ass (rash)
I need to check the sugar in your sangria (instead of sangre which is blood in spanish)
Update from yesterday´s blog- that birthday party got cancelled and rescheduled due to that threat but there was no violence in Madero last night
Prayer requests:
good refreshment and relaxation for our day at church tomorrow (we will attend 3 services) and for our day off on monday
fun time with our team together during our free time
