Clinic in Mactzul V

I was slow with the camera today so I do not have any photos to share. We finished the ABC Clinic today in Mactzul V with 40 patients. Gaspar taught a class in his community on dental hygiene so we had Juan and Manuel working with us. Tomas lives close by so he came to help for the day.

The ABC program is such as impressive program and continues to grow. With sponsors in The States, the children have opportunities that they might never have. They will remain in school, continue their education, receive medical and dental care and clothing. The whole family benefits from the program physically and spiritually.

When people visit and meet their child for the first time it can be over-whelming. You are then able to see the face and hear the child's voice that you are helping. There are many scriptures that talk about helping the poor, feeding the hungry and showing love for each other........what great opportunities we have! And yet, we always receive more than we give.
