Friday........time to go home........

It is Friday morning and it is time to go home!  The week has been full of wonderful surgeries and everyone is doing well.  We are so thankful for this.

Betty and a driver from Panajachel arrived about 8 am and the babies were ready!  Really, I think the mothers were ready to get back to the cooler area.

This is Amarilis and her mom before they left.

 Angelica, just as sweet as ever!

Edison and his mom. He was standing on the bed and playing with his mom!

Hector Fredy and his mom.

I can not thank everyone enough for all of the help you have been!  All of these surgeries were sponsored by people who are willing to share what they have.  Many of us have been blessed beyond imagination.  We have been blessed with family, health, jobs, comfortable homes and the opportunity to worship without fear.  With your help and financial support, these children now have a new life ahead of them. Please pray for them.  Continue to pray that they will grow to know God and have a relationship with him.

This is one of the newest paintings at the clinic and I love it.  I have stopped and looked at it many times this week.  It is the woman in Luke, chapter 8, that touched the garment of Jesus.  People looked to Jesus for healing and comfort.  People with physical illnesses knew that He could heal.  He showed compassion for them, He took time for them......He did not turn them away.  We need to learn to be more like Jesus.

Thank you to all of the people that helped in the clinic this week.  You sacrificed your time and service to really change lives!  What a blessing you have been to many!

The babies will go to Lemoa on the 25th for their post-op consult.  I will have more photos that day. Please stay tuned!
