Clinic in Chuguexa with Amy and ACU

You know the routine...........breakfast, division into groups and then we hit the roads to different clinics.

My group went to Chuguexa today and the size of the clinic varies. Now, I normally tell you that if we have a small clinic it is due to heavy rain, a wedding, a funeral, a baptism.........whatever! But, today..........are you ready???? It was dog vaccination day! People were herding their dogs around on ropes, taking them to the community health places for their vaccination. ok...........

Gaspar went with us to Chuguexa and we had eight patients. Of those patients, last month, had a gluclose of 253 and today it was 97.........I was very pleased with him.

Amy and Meagan place a sticker on one of the visitors today.

Amy is working this week with the local hospital and was able to go with us today. She comes to Guatemala from time to time and also does a lot of work in Africa. It is exciting to hear about different work that is being done and to also hear of the similarities.

Everyone returned safely from their clinics today and we are always thankful for that. God takes care of us and that is something that we do not want to forget.

Tomorrow will be the last clinic for the students and Trish. They have done great this week and tomorrow will be another busy day...................another adventure!
