Clinic in Xepocol with the Sizemore family

Today was a great day in Xepocol! We had clinic for the ABC children and were also able to see a few other patients. There were 34 medical patients and 26 dental patients for Marcos and Aura.

This is the Sizemore family from Kentucky..........Donna is a nurse, Dr. Stan is a family practice physician, Sarah will complete her nursing studies soon and Joshua is finishing high school and has sooooo many opportunities before him!

If you ever get a chance to meet Donna and Stan, please ask them to sing in K'iche'!

After some of the patients watched me take a photo of the Sizemores, they also wanted theirs taken so we borrowed the photo bench! :)
Dr. Stan and I both saw patients to move things along smoothly. Gaspar was not able to help us today but his uncle helped us translate. Please remember Gaspar and his family in your prayers.
These clinics are specifically for the ABC Children that are sponsored by volunteers in the States. For $30 a month the child receives dental and medical care, clothing for school, food and other opportunities that most children here do not have. If you are interested in sponsoring a child, please let me know.

Joshua shot a few photos for me and I appreciate it.


After clinic, I took everyone home and then returned to Chichi. I stopped and grabbed the Sizemores and we went grocery shopping and driving around Chichi a little. They are settling in and doing well.

We saw the students in the road briefly this morning as they were headed out of town. Tomorrow the new group of five will meet us at Clinica Carris and we will all be on the road for another adventure! Please continue your thoughts and prayers that we have safe travels and that we will have many opportunities to share the love of Jesus.
