I actually had to re-read my last post to see what the last thing I wrote about was. Needless to say, a lot has happened since then.



-Andrew and Hubert weren't able to make it all the way to the village that they initially wanted to go to, because the roads were too bad. They were, however, able to set a date for a mobile clinic in one of the villages along the way. The date was set for March 13th, and on the morning of, Hubert, Mary, Andrew, Lalin and I set off in the car. The trip... well, imagine that you're on a bucking bronco for 3-4 hours- that's how it felt in the car. The road was terrible, but at least it was dry. If it had been slippery and muddy as well, there's no way we would've made it to our destination.



When we got to Araing, the last large village before the one we wanted to go to, we stopped to speak to the village chief who then asked us to come and do a mobile clinic there. We agreed to come the next morning, and then left for the next village after buying some cookies and soft drinks at the store. We got to the village and decided to eat lunch before setting up shop.



About an hour or two after we started the clinic, dark clouds began to roll in. There was absolutely no doubt that it was going to rain soon, and even though none of us said anything about it, we were all worried that we wouldn't be able to make it home on the roads the next day.



Sure enough, a little while before we finished seeing the last patient, it started to rain... When we were done, Mary and I neede to use the bathroom... but there was one problem- every time we asked anybody where a bathroom was, they gave us a blank stare.

Bathroom? What was a bathroom?

Ok, so we tried asking if there was an outhouse...

Outhouse? There's grass over there.... Woods over there..

Allrighty... So there we were, wandering around in the rain, trying to find a place in the woods to "use the bathroom". It really wasn't as bad as it sounds. We had grabbed some ponchos from the car before we went hunting for a good spot, so we didn't get soaked.

More to come...
