Sunday in HOT Montellano

As you can tell, the dates and the days of the week to not correlate. We had very little internet service in HOT Montellano during the week but I will get the blog updated quickly. It was a great week and I want to introduce you to many people.

This is Carlos and Tobey. Carlos works full time for HTI and I always ask him, "Who is walking who?" He admits that Tobey is in charge :)

We walked across the street this morning and worshipped with the local church. Later we migrated to the recovery area to look at the equipment, supplies and the paperwork. As I told everyone, until the operating room starts putting out patients, there will not be a lot to do.......and then it all changes.

This is Sharon (TX) and Andrea (MO). This is Sharon's second time to Guatemala and Andrea's first.
This was our sterilization crew from New York! Steve, his son Adam, and Jesse. This is at least their third trip down and they keep the operating rooms supplied with that they need.

These two new nurses are checking out the equipment. Ashley, is on the left and is from Alabama. This is her first trip down and she will take her boards the first part of July. Sarah, from Kentucky, is making her third trip since last year. She will be taking her boards on
June 3oth! You will do well!

There were seven surgeries on Sunday afternoon and all of the patients did well.
We finished the day with a devotional and thanking God for His mercy and grace.
