Monday morning - the road to Rincon de Delores...

...winding up into the mountains outside Tegucigalpa.

The Church and our clinic site at Rincon.

Unpacking the bus - the air is cold and thin.

But spirits are high...

...and John gets us on track.

Beginning with a morning prayer service...

...and sharing among all.

"When are you guys going to be finished in there?"

"Feeling good, don't need the doctor. Could use some shades, though! "

"Look no cavities"

Carol and Sam - "now sit right down there and see if you can read this"

"If they can read the Bible, then we've got it right."

Dr. Tony Brown- "The living conditions present challenging...

...health situations, due to...

...smoke exposure from indoor wood burning ovens...

...though the food is quite good...

...and the close proximity of farm animals. (that is not an alarm clock)"

"I'm not feeling well"

David consults with Warren and Cathy on this case.

"Dr. Fixler sure knows how to make me feel better"

"I'm here to pick up my prescriptions."

Kim marvels at the pharmaceutical precision of John and Bill.

Bill - "My secret is keeping well hydrated" Of course this is easy for him given the banos is 10 feet to his left.

"Spence, can I hire you for a party when we get back?"

"No, Laura, that was 'you could pull some nails out here'."

The dental team prays for straight roots.

Aaron and Sabrina - "now spit into this cup, very good"

Lana figures out the proper use of a surgical mask.

Susan gets oohs and aahs as she concentrates on extracting.

Barbara and Jason pull out the chisel and hammer as Whitney tries to fade from the line of sight.

On a lighter note (ha!), Heidi and Cathy play away.

O.K.- where's the microphone.

"encore! encore!"

Christian ed has an ideal setting.

And Letty feels more than ideal, at last.

Cindy assures all that John is not out here to give shots.

Christopher and Letty teach about Christ...

...and his message is heard...

...to love one another.

The circumstances give reason for pause...

...though, one cannot deny the certain serenity that prevails.
