Gusu Mobile Clinic & Sports Day

We went to Gusu, again, for a mobile clinic. We did the clinic all day Friday then had half a day of the clinic and sports all day Saturday. As always, it was fun and the pictures can tell it all. I have posted most of these pictures on facebook. Go to my page if you'd like to see the entire album. Below are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend. If I can remember correctly, we saw over 1,200 pts during the weekend!

Sheesh, those U.S. Postal inspection service people are EVERYWHERE!

I recently took photos of the clinic. People have been asking me what the clinic looks like. What better way to explain it than through pictures!

Ndikuthentha....aka it's H-O-T.

Yah, so you move to sub-saharan Africa and expect it to be hot, right? So, this is just to state the obvious. It's H-O-T hot now.  My mom always says, "Africa hot," so since we live in Malawi, we'll call it "Malawi hot." Hot season means it's dry season, so we don't always have water. We do have tanks that we use when the water is out, but sometimes those are dry too. So, when there IS water (i'm not trying to be dramatic here, we only go short amounts of time without water. Some places go days if not weeks without water) Hollis likes to play in the sprinkler.

Hollis and Esime, needless to say, are lost without each other.....
