Sunday - Fire, Brimstone, and 800mg of Ibuprofen

Ok, so the clinic is sponsored by the MCK (Methodist Church of Kenya) and it is expected to attend church services on Sunday and especially so if you are the only muzungo in town.  I've learned from past experience it usually is wise to premedicate yourself with some anelgesic to best survive the three hour experience.  It is pretty much fire and brimstone service with amplified technology at an OSHA violating, ear damaging level.  Most of what I was praying for during the service was the electricity would go out and my tinnitus would subside, and that my heat exhaustion wouldn't become heat stroke.  Fortunately, the service would be interrupted by the occasional need to collect money, sell a chicken, or to sing a song and a short respite would be allowed.  I'm planning on a short trip next weekend.
