Clinic in Xepol

Today we had clinic in Xepol, which is rather chilly. The guys, Neva and I headed out about 0800 and we were met by Tomas. We did not have any patients waiting and he told us that today all of the children were signing up for classes in the school and they were writing down the names of everyone in the family. He told us that it takes quite awhile and that we may not have any patients today.

We tried to find spots of sun to sit in as we talked and waited.......Gaspar, Tomas, Juan and Neva.

Theses were some children in the area.

This little guy was as cute as he could be. His socks kept falling off and we would replace them!

I have started reading the Chronological 365 Bible. One challenge of reading The Bible is finding ways that it applies to your life. Yes, you can read about what will happen to people that cheat, lie and steal but if you never question yourself as to if you have any of those characteristics, how does it help you?

Recently, I was reading about Sarah laughing when she heard she would have a child. The question that was asked was, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?"

Do we find ourselves in the same situation today? Do we doubt, raise many questions or just blatantly disbelieve?

We know that we can do anything in Christ by Philippians 4:13. Paul and many difficult times but he learned to be content. Christians have the same opportunity today.

Jesus promised comfort for those who follow Him.

John 14:15-18

"If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever---the Spirit of truth.

We need to live our life with faith and the confidence that we were meant to live it.
