Potiban

We are leaving Potiban tomorrow after clinic, and it has been a beautiful setting here. I don’t know the type of trees in the picture, but they created some nice shade for us. Each stop is different. Not only the way the ship sits next to the bank, but also the people. Here the people were calm and not aggressive even when they knew they would not see the doctor. So often people will keep trying to get on the ship hoping to see the doctor. We can not physically see everyone and the doctor does a good job at the number he does see. But it is interesting to watch the crew as they work around the ship and people will talk to them trying to get help. The crew member then will come to me and tell me about someone’s problem. They know we can not see everyone, but their compassion for the people wants to make them try and help. Then I’m the bad guy! Ha! Everyone is looking forward to the weekend because we do need a mental and physical break. We are close to Phnom Penh again and most of the crew will head for the city lights. We sat and watched a beautiful sunset tonight. Make sure you take time to enjoy some of God’s creations! gail
