Saturday Clinic in Chuchipaca

Well, we were thankful the rain started after we left clinic today. It rained hard and the road to the church building was already very muddy but we had a very good clinic. We had 19 patients today and we had some patients return for follow-up. I always find this is encouraging when patients return.

First, we had a lady return for her pap result and we were very excited to tell her it was normal. She does not have to return for a year unless she has problems so we hope not to see her :)

If you remember on July 5th, even though it was posted on July 6th, we had a young lady visit the clinic with two small children whose husband had died 4 months before. I had asked her to return just to see how she was doing and try to be supportive in anyway that we could. She returned today and we talked some with Gaspar. She told us that she is feeling some better, her children are doing ok and she is now living with her parents. We prayed with her and encouraged her spiritually.

Tomasa called me this afternoon so I am going to try and find her tomorrow afternoon and she will attend the worship service with me tomorrow in Santa Cruz. I am very excited about this and if she would like, we can later attend the service in Chichi where more K'iche' is spoken.

Home for the evening to chill........and tomorrow hopefully get caught up on some laundry......
