I do apologize for the problems I have with creating a pleasing look to this blog but this is my first attempt at creating a blog and including photographs along with the text! I have continued to experiment over the last couple of weeks as time has permitted. I have made some changes to the appearance and functionality of the blog. This includes a "slide show" feature near the bottom of the page. You can click an any of the slides and you will be taken to a full size version of that slide.
We have continued to see patients on a regular basis except when we have had to travel to the next island to purchase medical supplies and food for our home. We continue to raise our animals and take care of our garden as well. The drought has seemed to become less severe and we have had a little rain over the last couple of weeks.
Unfortunately I had to give one of our congregation members and her family some bad news, her husband has terminal lung cancer and probably only as a few months left.
My wife, Rhome has started her weekly woman's bible study and has had two sessions already. Both have been very well received!
I will try to include some additional patient photos here but they are not all inclusive!
The first picture is of a young boy who has recovered from an elbow fracture.
