Thursday to Sunday - Clinics and a couple extra pictures

Well, Thursday was another day for the clinic and we were at Maytorena.  It is a small village where many of the people work in the fields about 30 miles away from the town. They are bussed out at between 430 and 530 in the morning and work out there for the day.  Even though so many are working, there were still quite a few who came through to see us :)


This gentleman was our oldest patient.  He was 100 years old. I took his picture with one of doctors and a nurse that was helping move people this day... 


The glasses set up :)


Another one of the doctors coming out his tent with his translator and his patient.


Empalme - A city just south of Guaymas on the ocean as well, was our best attended clinic. 440 people came through to either have a medical consult and/or receive glasses.


The 5-6 nurses stations kept quite busy over the days of the clinics.


The line up. :) It never seemed to end this day, but was so good to see so many people be helped.


San Carlos clinic - 102 people went through the clinic in about 4 hours on Saturday morning.  The rest of the day was spent cleaning and packing up supplies as the team headed out on Sunday morning early.  This picture is another view of our busy nurses.


Two of the people that were seen by the doctors and nurses.


Our bear patrol ladies - they made sure every child that came to the clinic on Saturday received a little bear (and a big smile)  :)

On Sunday we got to sit and enjoy a wee bit of the out of doors... here is a pelican posing for his picture...


And this one diving into the water... 


We can't believe that our time is coming to a close here, it seemed like it was going to be a longer time, but it has flown by, and I'm not sure we're ready to come home ;) but we are so very grateful that we have had the opportunity to come down here and serve and love these people.  It has been a wonderful time!
