Our first clinic in Xeabaj!

We had our first clinic in Xeabaj. Gaspar had told me that we would climb and that it would be pretty........and it was! We had 20 medical patients and 8 dental patients.

These were the Pepperdine students and Julie that were with us today. The other students were with Josefina in Clinica Carris in Lemoa.

I worked with Brian, who is a pediatrician from Minnesota. We had a good day talking with the patients and examining them. He is very kind with his patients and through. When we had a few minutes between patients, people went to check out, Jose, the dentist. Jose lives in The City and studied with Marcos. He is here to help us this week.
After clinic we ate dinner at a small restaurant here in Santa Cruz. I am going to snatch that hat before the end of the week! :)
I never can forget our guys! They keep us going on a daily basis and are very helpful!

Tomorrow......another day.....another challenge!

Sheri, Thanks for posting the daily updates; allows us to stay in touch in MN (and tell the kid from MN, nice hat!). Thanking God you have dedicated this time to serve others; it seems your personal talents are being multiplied as others share with and through you. May God's blessing of both physical healing and salvation in Christ be shared through your labors of love. And thanks for taking time to keep a diary in blog form. May God bless and keep you.
