Clinic in Lemoa and house visits

It was a good day in Lemoa with clinic. There were 28 medical patients and Gaspar had 6 patients for dental cleaning.

We began our morning with the usual sweeping and preparing the clinic. Marcos had a short devotional for us. We then prayed for several things, including Haiti, The Church in Xepocol as it continues to grow, Mary R. and her health, Marcos' mom, the surgical patients at the coast and our daily travels. I know that God will answer those prayers.

We had a surprise visit today from a little girl that we have been trying to find. Her name is Gloria and many may remember her from last August when she had her cleft lip repaired at Clinica Ezell. It is time for her to have her palate repaired but we have been unable to find her.

Anyway, as we examined her today, Lisa was concerned with her eye. Her mom said that Gloria does not see with her right eye but as Lisa examined it, she became even more concerned. We gave information to Gloria's mom about a specialist in Solola so we are hoping they will return to the clinic after an evaluation. Please pray for Gloria and her mom and I will keep you posted.

Juan and I visited Armando in his home during the afternoon and took him a new walker. He seemed pleased with it. He told us that he continues to get stronger but the progress is slow. I told him that I had received an email from Steve and he hopes to visit again in July.

We then went to visit another lady and she seemed a little more relaxed with us today. We took her some medicine and talked to her about the clinic. She has connections with a group of ladies that meet in that community and told her that we would be glad to offer classes within the community if they are interested. We will see if we hear anything on that.

Tomorrow we will leave Chichi early and go to Chuchuca for a clinic there. It should be a great day of travel and an exciting clinic.
