Xepol------last 2012 clinic

Today, was our last clinic in Xepol for 2012 and what an exciting year it has been for this community. 

This is the new building that is slowly being done.  As we say.....little by little..........
Tomas, talking to Manuel and Josue before we begin clinic.

One gentleman had cataract surgery this year and this has been another accomplishment.  He is so thankful that he has regained his vision.

This is one of the little girls that always comes with her grandmother.  She helps us carry our backpacks down to the clinic.  Her grandmother is a diabetic and was feeling much better today.

You have heard me talk about Victor.  This is Victor in December 2010.

This is Victor today.  Since the last photo, his dad has been baptized and his mother is now attending services with them.

I talked today to Victor and his mom about the hope that we have.  Christians have hope that other people do not have.  I told them about me sharing their story in the Dominican Republic.  I told them about how excited the people were to hear of their baptisms. 

His father has not drank in 6 weeks.  Victor and his father are both helping with the construction. He is much more content.  He does not start fights any more.

We have the hope of some day being with Christ......no language barriers, no difference in culture, no struggling with trying to understand.   We will all be one, with Him.
