Home visits

Last weekend I went out with my friends John and Penny to the hills to visit a family. We went 4-wheeling up a crazy dirt road for half an hour and then hiked up and up and up the mountains to a ridge over looking the ocean and the villages below. Breathtaking! About ten minutes before we arrived at their home, the heavens let loose and gave us a nice shower. We were already soaked with sweat, so it didn't make much difference!

We spent several hours with them, discussing medical problems, giving them some meds, encouraging, learning and praying with them. It was a great time. The only uncomfortable part was when they insited that we eat some of their fresh, homemade cheese. Yikes! We really prayed over that cheese that we wouldn't be running to the toilet with diarrea the next few days. (we were spared!)

It was such a blessing to visit that family who is so remote. And there are sooooo many others WAY out there that could take many hours, maybe days to reach. And we wonder why they wait to the last minute to come to the clinic!
