Sunday started early for us today. We were up at 5:30 and had to be at the CCM at 7:00 for Dad's first meeting. We got home around 1:30 which was pretty good, last week it was about 4:00. I am really getting spoiled here on Sundays. We eat dinner with the missionaries after our meetings and so when we get home I don't even go into the kitchen until 6ish or so, and then it is just something light for supper.
It was still a kind of slow week at the clinic this week, but we got the schedule much more full for next week. The children are back in school. Yeah! I like to keep busy and that helps our goal of helping as many kids here with dental needs as we can while we are here. It also helps the time move more quickly. I have found things to do, but a good dental schedule is high on my list.
We found a couple of interesting bugs at the clinic this week. The first is an Esparanza Bug or Good Luck bug. It is a large green bug that kind of looks like a grass hopper. It's body was about 4 inches long. The people don't hurt these bugs because they are suppose to bring good luck and because they eat other bugs.
The other was a large caterpillar. I don't know anything about this one, other than it was pretty interesting and large.
Cheeky, the Clinic dog had only one surviving puppie this last time she had pups and here are a couple pictures of him, at least I think it is a him. Dad thinks he is pretty cute.
We hadn't seen any goats for a while until last week we saw two groups of them. Dad got these pictures for me while waiting for traffic. Can you see what the lady is doing in the two pictures? Yes, she sells the goats milk right there on the street.
We had a cold spell the last week or so and we got down to 49 degrees one morning. We have our little space heater going almost full time. I know that doesn't sound very cold, but when there is no heat in the apartments, churches, Clinic or almost anywhere, you can get pretty chilled by the time you get home in the evening. I have been wearing my thin thermal bottoms or we call them leggings here, under my scrubs.
Well, keep warm everyone! and enjoy this beautiful winter because it only lasts for a little while. And have a good week. We love you all!
