Day Two - Physical Exams

Today the team cared for the children by giving them physical exams. Natalie diagnosed many conditions that can be treated with medicine she brought. Each team member had a job: Sharon took blood pressures, Dick took temperatures, Jon took pictures, Susie measured heights, Cheryl and Jeff played in the "waiting room" with children waiting their turn, and Natalie performed thorough examinations.
Allan had to prove that he was as tall as Susie.
Eduardo gets a second and third opinion on his healthy heart.
Two year old Vagner quickly earned the title of chief cardiologist.
Everyone recieved a new toothbrush and instructions to brush twice a day, so that they can keep their beautiful smiles.We recieved a tour of the nearly completed chapel pictured above and heard the story about how the land that the chapel was built on used to be a city street. Pai, the father of the house, had a vision to build a chapel and after years of prayer Lar obtained the land from the city. Funding for the chapel came entirely from generous gifts. Pai showed us the newly planted garden, inspired by his recent trip to Israel and the gardens he saw there.
