Wow, it has been a busy week. There is so much to post that I am
going to have to break it into several posts over the coming days.
There is so much to share that it is hard to begin.
So, I will begin with the statistics. For the week, we have done the following:

In the future, I plan to post details on the trip. I plan to write
about: Gracie and the special needs kids, the way the church has
grown (Go Pastor Luis!), our supporters ( Thank YOU!) and a walk
through of the clinic.
For today, it is Friday and we are wrapping up. Most trips we have
worked Monday through Thursday and then Friday was a pack up and a day
of shopping. This trip the team is made up of all veterans. As a team
we decided to skip the shopping and use Friday for special cases
(difficult extractions, etc). In a few minutes I will post this, the
Dr.'s will be done and we will pack and head for Tegucigalpa. In
Tegucigalpa, we will do one touristy item ( the cathedral ) and then
go to the mission house and get ready to fly home.
Before I close, I will add an attachement. Please see the below
picture of a cross. What is hard to describe is how it is placed on
top of a ridge. It is a major hike to get to it. Some years ago, the
people of Talanga decided they wanted a cross on that hill, so they
dug a foundation,mixed and poured the concrete by hand and then
cleaned up the site. All of this several hundred feet above the rest
of the town. It so high that the turlkey vultures were soaring on the
air currents below us. Wow. That is faith and industry in action.
Now to close. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts. The support has been a help.
All the best from the team in Talanga.
