Very Thankful

This morning, Manuel, Teresa and I headed out for Chuguexa. When we arrived, the first thing we noticed that the "House of Prayer" had been painted.  It looks very nice and we were told that it cost 9,000 Q or about $1,200.  Manuel thinks this photo needs to be on the 2018 calendar so we will see what happens.

As usual, we had a large population of diabetic patients.  Last time we were here, we met a man who has been attending AA meetings for several years.  I was hoping that he would return again but he did not.

A lady went to Montellano, for cataract surgery and today was her follow-up visit. She looks great and is to thankful for her improved sight.

On the way home, Manuel and Teresa wanted to stop for lunch.  Usually, it is very clouded and we can not get good photos.  Today it was real clear.

Tonight, Carol had us over for dinner.  It was awesome!  We had salmon, salad, asparagus, and mashed potatoes.  I am sure that she had been in the kitchen all day preparing for us!  So there was Carol, Jennifer, Shes, Erin and a friend of theirs who is here for a week.  Then Lisa and Kemmel popped in for delicious deserts of cheesecake and spice cake with coffee.

It was just a day to be thankful for.  I have great family and friends, have been able to work in Guatemala full-time for a little over ten years and our work continues to grow.
