February 23

The aftershocks were reported as 4.7 richter. We were all sleeping when they happened, and we definitely felt them. I woke up to the bed shaking really hard for what seemed like forever. There were a few shocks after that and it was hard to determine if they were shocks or just my bunk mate Mindy turning over. After that my dreams were filled with quakes. Don't worry though because the house we're staying at was inspected and there was no structural damage from the quake. The team was divided in half today and my team did clinics at Chambrun again. I think I am now a certified pharmasist! I have spent 3 days dispensing medication, giving medication by needle and helping with iv starts on babies. It is a fast paced day, but I am really enjoying myself. We only treated 120 patients today so we were done early and had the opportunity to go to the village of Chambrun to distrubute food. When we arrived the village started to congregate and they were told to form lines. I have never seen a line so compact! They were back to chest, packed like sardines. I climbed into the truck to bring the 45 lbs of food to the back where it was being handed out. The people started carrying them on their heads back to their homes. That's quite a mental picture for me. Now were are hanging out and I am writing an email to you! Some of the team (men only at this point) have gone to see the Jesus film presentation. I am somewhat jealous... Maybe I'll get a chance yet. My french is improving and I am able to carry on conversations although not as well as I'd like.
