Medical Team 1

Things that stand out from today…

1. According to the ladies, the showers are pretty cold?! Us guys wouldn’t know! We’re having a competition to see who won’t shower ever again.
2. Spring of Life City Church was very much full of life. Great singing, dancing, hospitality and not to mention the 2 sermons. Tim had the experience of preaching to the church and having to remember to stop so the translator could translate into Bemba. In fact, the translator was so good at his craft he would mimic the person speaking not just translate the words. It was also confirmed that we dance to a different rhythm than our Zambian friends… usually on the off beat!
3. Becky spent some time trying to teach the kids at the church how to play “Duck Duck Goose”. She did well, except the game turned out to be “duck duck DUUUCCKK”.
4. Three of our bags were lost in transit and we were told yesterday to check back today. Well, low and behold… they arrived! Thank you God!
5. The afternoon was spent setting up the clinic that will start tomorrow. We’re all pretty happy and excited about the clinics starting.

Check in same bat time same bat channel to see how day one of clinic went.
