Medical Missions team at Torim

On Friday we went with a medical mission team here from Montana to the village of Torim, approximately one hour and 15 minutes south of here. The Yaqui Indians live here and this is the first time that the medical team has visited their village.
Some of the men of the village curiously watching as the team set up for the day. 

Part of the ministry was giving reading glasses to those who needed.
This was checking out her new readers.
 It amazed me that most who came for services were dressed in what appeared to be their finest clothing.
 Many of the women had the beautiful shawls on and wore them over their heads.
 I assume partly to protect themselves from the very hot sun, mostly it is a customary article of clothing.

Parts of the homes are built differently than I have seen before.
 They have walls woven out of branches that we thought could possibly be bamboo.
 We also noticed that there are not satellite TV dishes on the houses as we have observed in other villages.

One of the areas set up for the clinic was where blood pressures and temperatures were taken.
 They then went on to see nurses to get a history and what ailments they may have before going on to see the doctor.

This is Sara, my new friend.
  She came up to me so excited about the new Bible she had been given and was praising God like I have never heard before.
She hugged on me and chatted away as if we were long lost friends.
 It is awesome how God breaks down language and cultural barriors.  

Some of the Yaqui children with a young lady from Minnesota who is in San Carlos teaching English at a school there.
She and some others from the team had set up a children's ministry across the street.
 It looked as if they were having a great time.
 We teased her and told her that the paint they put on her face was probably permanent. 

The medical team, translators, and some of the women from the village who helped with the ministry.
I think that the Montana team told me that they have been coming to this area doing medical visits to the villages for 6 years. They come for about 10 days and visit many villages while they are here.
What dedication on their part and what a need there is here.
 It was a long, hot day, but we are so thankful that we were able to be a part of it.
God is good! All the time!
