New clinic in Tzanixnam

Today, we parted in three different directions after a prayer for safety.  One group went to Saquilla, one to Mactzul Toto and our group went to Tzanixnam.

It was a beautiful drive.  This was the view from where we had clinic.  It is a new clinic for us so I was really hoping that we had a sufficient number of patients and that they would invite us to return.  Both of those hopes, became a reality!!  Gracias a Dios!

These are the patients that were waiting as we arrived.

We always pray with patients before we start the clinic.  Here, Gaspar is welcoming everyone and letting them know about consults and dental services.  Jeff, a dentist, is in the teal scrubs.  To Jeff's left, is Dave, who is now working with Health Talents.  He and his wife,  Susan, are a big help to Health Talents!

This is the part of the dent crew that is with us today. 

We made a lot of contacts today for future clinics.  Sara and I saw 56 patients.  Dental saw 16 patients and there were 3 dental cleanings.

I saw a lady that is very, very sick.  She has rheumatoid arthritis, is extremely under weight and has other medical issues.  Such a sad situation and she is only in her 30's.

There was a young baby, who was born seven weeks yearly.  He has clubbed feet and has not developed physically.  Again, a very sad situation. 

The highlight of the day, was when a pregnant lady was able to listen her her unborn baby's heart.  She was so excited!

We had safe travels and we are thankful for that.  Tomorrow is another day..........and another adventure!!  Stay tuned!
