The clinic was supposed to go from about 12 - 1 but naturally more people showed up after 1:30. The students are eager to practice and gaining more confidence each time. At this point Im able to just hang out and be available, they arent needing me or Julia.
This morning we practiced on each other again to refine locations and technique. I am very, very sensitive and I allowed two students to needle me. They both did a great job. Two other students, the young women ages 16 & 17 asked about leaving early to catch a 5:00 bus to a sister's pueblo 1 1/2 hours from here, then stay the night, then take another bus for hours the next day. They also asked about staying in the hostel another night. I was concerned about one of them needing a lot more practice. She was timid in her needling technnique and I didn't have confidence in her locations. So we told them that they could stay at the office of Ceciproc where there is a bed and a couch and they could leave the next day. It wasn't the answer that they seemed to want but they agreed to it. This morning, they stepped up. The more timid one needled me and I felt good with her. I could feel that she had the right locations and Julia checked everything. In the clinic they did great so we said that they could leave early.
We ordered sandwiches, a bottle of water and piece of fruit for everyone traveling plus I gave everyone some money for the road. Some will travel for more than 8 hours to get home.
(It's now Wednesday...I thought that I could get back to this sooner but it will wait until later today. I've already been asked about updates so this is the beginning of it. Thank you for reading and being here with me!)
