Feb. 26, 2008 - Guest Blogger: Ecuador Day 4
Day 4- February 11 We awoke at 6:30 and had some more eggs, plus mango juice, which replaced the usual orange juice. Then we hailed a taxi, who drove us to the place where we were building the church. We who sorted pills yesterday did a medical clinic. I asked dad what my job was, and I found out that I got to check everybody’s heads for lice! Not only that, I also had to shampoo their hair if they had lice. I wasn’t sure I liked the job, but it was kinda fun, even if it didn’t sound like it. The house we were working in had some corn in it. Being that there was no doors in the back, chickens came in and ate the corn. I caught one, but after that they got smart and always kept an eye out for me. Not like your Kentucky chickens. They also had some ducks. We ate a sack lunch and treated some more patients. I think we had about 105 patients that first day, and roughly 65 of them had lice. I learned the Spanish word for lice is "Piojos." We ate meat, rice, and plantains for dinner. They were GOOD!!! We had devotions afterwards, and I found out Dad and I had the devotion two nights later!!! I went to bed wondering WHAT I could possibly do for a devotion!

I heard about you checking the people there. I heard that you did a great job. It's kinda funny that the job doesn't sound really wonderful, only when your doing it for God, it is great. I love the way your telling about each day on your trip. Thanks.
