We arrived in Puerto Cabezas yesterday afternoon and hit the ground running. The California people arrived as well and all our totes made it through customs! Have been very busy! We have met the Nicaraguan doctors we will be working with and they are absolutely wonderful. So friendly, helpful and accomadating in every way. Today we had our clinic and saw several hundred patients and have a very full schedule of surgeries for the week. With several doctors, we will also be having a large ditzel clinic which will amount to a lot of mole removals, scar revisions, etc.
It is great to be back to Nicaragua and connect with old friends again and we will definitely have many new friendships when we leave here. We are very anxious to get started working with the doctors. They share the spiritual commitments that our team has and that is as important as the physical care that they will give their patients.
Keep us in your prayers as we begin a long week. Carolyn
After supper tonight we were invited to one of our favorite Nicaraguan nurse Rigbys home. It was her 60th birthday. The evening was filled with music, dancing and laughter. Our doctors this year have proved to be very entertaining leading the dancing. They are joy filled and we are looking forward to a spirited week.
