Guac day 3







Today we went to our first clinic! I worked the pharmacy and completely sucked at Spanish. However now I have a list of most of the phrases I will need : ) Mom and Dad gave away only 2 pairs of glasses. We must have seen about fifty patients. It turns out I have perfect vision, I took a eye test and got them all right. We came back to the convent for lunch. After lunch madre decided we were not going out for the second city. It must of been something about the rain and the mudslide we passed by on "the good road" Instead we painted one of the rooms in the convent. That pretty much took up the rest of the day. In that time I made designer pants and shoes, oh and a shirt. Diner followed that, we had hamburger meat (I think), mashed potatoes, and veggie tales. Which reminds me, at lunch Dad came up with a new food that was pretty amazing. It was Madre Augustina's churros, which were filled with caramel, with peanut butter on top. I forgot to mention that Sunday was Madre Augustina's birthday! Although she looks like shes twenty eight, she really just turned forty three. Tomorrow we are hoping to visit more clinics and help more people.

  1. You did great today, Hondo. It was fantastic to watch you pushing your drugs over there in the pharmacia!

    Here's hoping we get to do both clinics tomorrow.

  2. You get to make Sunday dinner. Your Mom probably is already thinking of how she can market your designer clothing.
    Sounds like you are learning quickly.
