At this point in the week, exhaustion usually has hit the visiting team and those of us from the mission. We picked the team up at 7:30am, and everyone headed toward the bus at a slightly slower pace. :) Trying to keep eyelids open and mustering up energy for the day was made much easier once we arrived at Mercado Nazareth, our location for the day. A busy street lined with booths and blankets full of things to sell and people buzzing around got us all going at a great pace. We set up our tents and got things rolling. Lora helped run Triage and crowd control and translated for Jocelyn, the nurse. We saw all sorts of patients and conditions Thursday. Again, we had such a great turnout, we had to turn people away and suggest they come to our clinic on the next day. We also had some extra help from the rest of the team who had spent the week painting and doing construction in our Arevalo church and our Wichanzao clinic. Everyone did great and made it through the day!
