Hola everyone!
Wow, clinics were a huge sucess. No one had idle hands as we saw a total of 74 patients on Monday and 91 on Tuesday. What a blessing it was for us and for the community. Although we were treating people for their illnesses we figured out the most beneficial gift we can give is the love we have from Christ. If you focus on what we are doing physically for the people of Guatemala it can be discouraging because we know it is just temporary relief; but that is what is so exciting about our real reason for being here, and that is to share the Good News and love of Jesus Christ through words and actions.
This morning we are just waiting for our driver to arrive (learning to live by Guatemalan time) and then we will head to La Avanzada for our clinics on Thursday and Friday and the community assessment. Dr. Elry and Liz have shown us such great kindness, and it will be sad to leave Holy Cross clinic, but we have a bigger mission field. I think all of us agree as well that we have not eaten this well in a long time.....Liz is an amazing cook.
I am sorry that this post is going to be so short, and I wish we had ample time every day to update you as to what we are experiencing, but each day is just too short. When we reach Gualan we plan to give you some stories from the past few days just to give you a taste of our journey in Guatemala.
