The medical outreaches are a great tool to bless the people and open the door to the gospel. This map shows several villages we did clinics in. The one at the bottom was the last one. The lower right was the first one and the upper right was the third one and the village we stayed in was one of the upper middle ones.
Often we had to load our supplies and go by boat to the next village. On the last day we transferred from our boat to this little peki peki boat, then landed on the beach below and walked to the tree line in the distance and got on another boat to reach the village.

First we had to sort all the medicine and supplies we had brought and divide into four different groups for four different clinics. We had several different ideas as to the best way to do this of course :)
For our first clinic we crossed the river and walked about 20 minutes and held the clinic in this school.
The people line up quickly to give their names and take a number.

WELL DRILLING A SUCCESS
I am pleased to report that we returned home yesterday October 3rd after having a succesful trip to the area of Iquitos, Peru. We gave medical relief to 4 remote villages and drilled wells in two of them. A third well that we raised the funds for will be drilled soon.
Above is a video of me taking my hand at the back-breaking work of drilling the well. There are a lot of stories and photos of our adventure that I will add in the following days.
