Clinic in Mactzul I, ABC gifts and a home visit

Today, we had clinics in Mactzul I.  We had 7 medical patients and 5 dental patients.

Cesar also went with us today and we gave more gifts to ABC Children.  This is Rosa.  She is really doing well and becoming quite a lady.

This is Ottoniel.  He is full of activity.

We had gifts for several children.  After we handed them our, Cesar talked to each family about how the book should be used.  The purpose if for the children to read to their family during the week.  This will help them practice their reading skills, help others in the family who are not able to read and will also provide some Bible study during the week.  So much will be accomplished with just a few minutes in the evening.

I was asked to go and visit a young lady that could not come to clinic.  She has been very sick for 3 months and has been in bed for 3 weeks.  She is only 35 years old.  I was told her problem was high blood pressure and headaches.

When we arrived, her blood pressure was excellent and it has been several weeks since her last blood pressure medicine.  Enrique and I talked to her for a long time as the other family members waited outside.  It was obvious that something else is going on. We prayed with her and the church members said they will visit again to see if they can help in some way.

Tomorrow, we will visit San Jorge!
