Hi to all
So I heard last night that it is very cold back home in Calgary with a high of -22 degrees. it felt cold to us this morning when we woke up to only about 24, and probably reached between 33-36. I think i like the numbers on the plus side better!
Gil was a slave driver today and had the team up at 5am... most of the team didn't know there was two 5:00 in a day. Our first distribution site was about an hour NE of our compound in a place called Tororo. It was a quick stop on our way to another site called Cecilio Baez. We only spent about 2 hours in Tororo with no clinic, which was nice because our medical team was able to have a greater involvement in the distribution. The church had a program planned for us, we also did a drama and some Spanish songs with them and then handed out about 150 boxes, it was great!
Our next stop was about down the road about 15min in Cecilio Baez. Here we set up the Eyeglass clinic and the dental clinic while our Doctors and his team went deeper in the native community about 22km away.(which took them an hour to drive because the roads are so bad) All the team is really enjoying the clinics and have some major hands on experience in the dental clinics assisting the dentists chair side, doing freezings, and even extractions. I think some have picked a new profession! We got back to the compound late tonight which made for a very long day, praise the lord that we don't have to get up till 8am tomorrow!

Wow, I didn't realise you guys did so much "clinic" stuff. It sounds like you guys are making quite the difference over there.

So - it was minus 22 here yesterday morning and plus 42 there. That's a 64 degree difference. I think you might have a bit of acclimatizing to do when you return to Canada! Tori, I borrowed your boots for your brother's grad. Hope that was okay.
