chez médecin

Yesterday, I tagged along with the medical students to Dr. Carl's house. He was having a medical clinic there in which the public could sign up for an appointment and come to his house. Brittany, Jaclyn, and Gwen helped out with the welcome stations and took things such as weight, blood pressure, and the major complaints. Crystal hung out and prayed with the patients before they went up to see Dr. Carl. Overall, the entire morning was a great experience and I was glad that I could follow them throughout the day! Here are some photos that I took during that time.

We only have a few short days left. We as a team are extremely appreciative of your prayers and thoughts and we thank you for them!

  1. Beautiful pictures...what a joy to see all that is being done on your trip! Thank you again. Sunday football here and they're calling it an Ice Bowl as players brace for brutal cold weather...Packers vs. 49ers, kickoff at 4:40pm and wind chill goes into effect @ 7pm. There will be a lot of howling going on with the extreme cold conditions. Enjoy the warm weather, brace for a change when you get home. We love and miss you. Thanks again Crystal for your love and support and we will continue to stay in contact in days/weeks ahead. Be proud! Love, Kim, Gary and Brandon
