The first clinic in the new building was Monday, March 18, 2008 from 9 am - 5 pm. We had a doctor from Chinadega and a dentist from Telica there that saw almost 100 patients. The people of Candelaria could see either doctor or dentist for 5 cortabas (26 cents). Linda is a dental hygienist and Scarleth's sister, Cecilia, 18 is in school to become a dentist and her friend/classmate Wymene, 21 as well. All the kids in Nicaragua are out of school this whole week, Holy Week, from preschool to college. This allowed Cecilia and Wymene to be a lot of help and it also allowed a lot of people available for the clinic. The building is not done, the floors are still 
dirt, but the walls are smooth. The power this time was all extension cords, but I think the building will be really ready within 4-6 weeks; they are working hard every day toward its completion.I helped entertain kids in the church waiting room while the dental clinic waiting room holds about 10-12 people. I had the Incredibles on Linda's laptop playing in Spanish while I worked on attendance sheets and took headshots. We are up to 119 girls 20 years and under and 122 boys under 21. I have the names in excel in alphabetical order and have filled in Sundays 2/9/16 so far on both the boys and girls sheets, but I only have taken about 80 total headshots. I am enjoying getting to
know more and more kids names even though the project is taking a lot of hours, so it's good. I also showed the first 2 of 5 animated Bible stories for children that my mom sent on DVD. They voted for "Daniel in the Lion’s Den" and "The Last Supper, Crucifixion, and Resurrection." They are 45-50 minutes long in Spanish audio. The kids loved them and my mom and Jennifer Sellers of Waynesville are working hard to get me more of this series plus a full curriculum of books and workbooks for Sunday school.Last night we got back and Oscar and I took Cecilia and Wymene to Hollywood Pizza for their help at the clinic. They were there without pay, but wanted them
to know we appreciated their help. We also saw 10,000 BC which was much better than Colverfield.Hope all is well in the states, and please pull for UGA and UNC for me during March Madness, and UNCA in the NIT.
