DAY 4
We moved on to another tent city today in Silo. It rained the night before so the place was extremely muddy. Again we had to climb through a broken section of a concrete wall and beyond which you would see the humble dwellings of these precious people. The tent we were using for our clinic was extremely small but the Lord gave us wisdom as to how to utilize the space to accomplish what needed to be done. We were up and running in no time. Today seemed hotter than ever, but that did not diminish our spirits. We were also grateful that we were able to find the local pharmaceutical company because we were able to replenish our stocks.
Each day we take a short break around 1pm and then we would continue working until sunset. Toward the end we had a group of women who started singing that they wished they would get to see the doctor in creole. Eventually we got to see everyone. By the time we were packing up we had to use our flashlights because it was so dark, but everyone got to see the dentist and doctor. Again we saw approximately 105 patients.
