Tuesday Morning

Another great day yesterday! They did eleven surgeries ... which means eleven sets of instruments! :-) I am learning more about the names of different surgical instruments and their intended uses. Alfred Anderson (the person who knows everything about the sterilization room) is a farmer from middle Tennessee (Clarksville). He has been teaching me what he knows. There's almost too much information for very much to stick, but I'm working on it. The plastic surgeons performed surgeries on two children with cleft lips/palates and the results were amazing!!! So awesome to see it first hand...

Today I will travel into the villages with two or three others taking contributions to families (toilet paper, food, etc.) in the ABC program. (Check it out on www.healthtalents.org) Last night Rick Harper (the leader of this trip and the director of the HTI office in Searcy, AR) explained about all that HTI does to minister in this country. Amazing!!

Time for breakfast... I hope to post about my travels into the villages this afternoon.
