Dr Isaac Hotz’s team of doctors and medical staff saw over 275 patients in three days and clinic is still going on today. People from the villages start coming to the mission center as early as six and wait in line until nine when the clinic begins. Tuesday, in spite of a heavy wind storm, then went to a nearby village, RonDon, to see 87 patients, some too ill to come to clinic.
Yesterday was more excitement that we like to have in one day. In addition to having no electricity and no water, the police pulled Nicolas over in our new van and said they would confiscate it if we did not get plates and some other documentation. The company that manufactures the plates has been on strike, and there are no plates to be found. Our concern was that if they did get the van, it could be a long to time to process and it would not come back the same. They gave Nicolas a grace time to get the documentation. That is not easy to get in a hurry down here, but Nicolas managed it and we have the van today.
