At 3:00 I welcomed youth into my home.
This past week a couple of the students have attended a funeral for a baby born premature. They had seen the mother in clinic earlier in the week. One girl attended a burial and another girl participated in the annual prayers for a dead grandpa.
The girls attended another San Juan festival. Much of the same went on as last weekend.
The girls have been enjoying running together in the afternoons. Running – for exercise - is not something people do around here so the girls get tons of looks from those passing by. Brea’s host sister stays on the track with them offering terere as they come around!
In clinic the girls have been doing tons of OB ultrasounds. They quickly realized that teen pregnancy is a HUGE problem here. Jeff’s been letting them pray over these patients. On OB ultrasounds, they’ve been also able to see twins and a molar pregnancy.
The students have all been enjoying baking with their families and learning how to make some of the traditional Paraguayan dishes. <!--[if gte mso 9]>
