Our day starts at 430 am to get ready for 6 am mass. Michael assist most days and preaches on occasion. The last few days we are working together in the outpatient clinic. We see a wide variety of patients to include families. Reneal is very good at taking doctors orders from Michael :), and Michael is enjoying that. We go home for lunch and Michael returns to help in the compounding nurses clinic or on the ward until later afternoon and Reneal is spending time at the orphanage.
On Sunday we traveled with Fr Cletus to two of his several outstations/parish mission churches. Michael assisted at the masses. The women loved Reneal and gathered around her in a circle singing "greetings sister, welcome" in their native language. On the way back we stopped at the Town marked and bought some fabric for an outfit Reneal hopes to have made by a local seamstress.

Reneal, I'd be very interested to learn more about the women there, and your interaction with them. And if you don't have time to write this all down for the blog, you can tell me when you get home. Praying for you and your mission.
