February 17 PM

So today despite little rest I awoke early and went to the

Cathedral, with Dave (who I just today found out is Michelle's

brother) and Roger.  The wood work was cool and they had

Eucharistic Adoration.  Then we went back had a very nice

breakfast served by the very nice staff (and owners) of our

very cheesy hotel.  Then the brothers picked us up to go to

the clinic.  They were very punctual.  As opposed to Esteli,

they are much more businesslike.  They started the clinic at

8.  The pharmacy was a little behind because they had to

unpack still but we got in the rhytmn.  I have prayed with

every family so far and they really appreciate it and I

really love it.  The girls have names like Exceliente Maria

and Aruscelly de Succor and many other titles of Mary.

Of course the boys all bear Saints names.  I have had to

give people money to buy medicine (if our traveling pharmacy

did not have it) or get an xray (only 3 bucks and worth

about the same) and many of the kids seem to never have seen

a doctor before.  They are showered with presents.  Jessica

brought so many toys.  Each child gets candy, Bible (both

at our office) tooth brush and paste, toys coloring books

and their meds.  Today I handed out the remainder of my bars

and the kids really went for those.  (chocolate is not 

common here, it melts).  Then at night some of us went to 

Mass.
