Gaspar has patients in Chuchipaca!!!

Today was an exciting day for many different reasons!

First, I could not wait to tell everyone that someone has already volunteered to help with Baby Rosa Carina's surgery. What a blessing that is!

I started my morning by having breakfast with the Sizemores, which I enjoyed. We had coffee and banana pancakes. Thank you :)

Then we all headed out of Chichi to Chuchipaca........we arrived without any problems and there were patients waiting for Gaspar! I was so excited for him and he was ready! We had carried the equipment for months with no one having the interest in having their teeth cleaned. Then, in one day, he had 14 patients! He worked very hard all day and Kelsey assisted him the whole time. Thank you, Kelsey!

Today Allison and Collin got to try their skill at weighing a baby. As you can tell, the mother is really enjoying the process.
Allison gets more practice with blood pressures as Taylor volunteers his arm.
We had 19 medical patients and during the day, Donna and Josua read with the kids a book about health practices. Then the children were able to color their book and take it home with them. We had some good readers today.
I really believe that Michael is creating his second career as a marble shooter. You guys better watch him when he returns to The States.

We finished clinic about 3pm and then headed back home. The Sizemores headed to Panajachel to enjoy the lake. We pray that they have safe travels and their plan is to return to Chichi sometime tomorrow.

Tomorrow is a day to sleep a little and do laundry........I will look for those blue skies in the morning!
