                                                                                                    Jistin’s Story Here is a sad story and I will try share it even though our hearts are hurting and feel very heavy for this little man.    Jistin, (Name given by Vicson, the caretaker.) is between 18 and 20 months old, this morning at 9:30 his dad came and rattled the clinic gate and

     Supper is just finished, and I’m thinking of spending a night with the other girls, when I hear Anita calling me to go with her to the clinic. Not thinking that anything much is up, I didn’t even grab a scrub top.    We saw a couple ladies, one in labor, and a

This young boy came in and could hardly swallow.  Under his chin was very swollen.  We put him on IV antibiotics and sent him home the next day doing much better. After delivering twins, this lady was carried into the clinic.  The one baby was born dead, and the other was doing fine.  We ended

    Expressions are interesting. What do you think of this one? I walked in on Nurse Virginia and Nurse Breanna this morning. A little girl was not impressed with their work on her ears. I was, though, and she will be now that it is done. But there is more to the story. She has

Our weekend… On Saturday we got word that Fre Rene, one of the mission’s hired road workers and a brother from church, was half incoherent, trembling, and couldn’t walk.  Donavon and Julian went to pick him up from where he had been working on the road not too far away. Upon bringing him to clinic,

I saw Camilson on Friday.  I could hardly believe how chubby his cheeks were, and how bright his eyes!  When I looked at him, he smiled so big!  He is now 11 months old and weighs 9 lbs. and 11 oz.  It is so encouraging to see him growing.  When I first saw him he
