Second Day of Jornada

We enjoyed breakfast and then found where we were going.  I went with the group to Mactzul V for an ABC Clinic.  We had a busy day and all went well!

Lydia is checking a pulse and preparing patients on the left.  She is Enrique's daughter and has been a big help to us. On the right, is Diana preparing patient charts before the consults begin.

Lydia continuing to prepare patients.

This is Micaela.  She is Martina's sister, assists dental and wants to be a dentist.  We hope that she will be able to start school before long.

This is Cesar, who works with the ABC Program.  With him is Emilio, who is doing an internship with us for a month.

Martina preparing the dental instruments...........

and finally!

Patients waiting for clinic to start.

One of the brothers started the clinic with a prayer.  This is such an important time of the day  We know that the medicine is a blessing from God, as is the ABC Program a blessing to the community.

Robin and Austin begin to care for an ABC child, as Micaela stands by ready to assist.

 This is Allen and he is a pediatrician.  I first met him and Diana in 2005.

This is Gaspar.  He has been working with Health Talents since it was started in Chichicastenango by Kemmel and Lisa.  He is a great asset to HTI, the local congregations and communities.

A few days ago, I mentioned a lady by the name of Delores.  She wanted someone to visit her and talk to her about the The Bible.  We contacted Gaspar but he was not able to find her.  At the next clinic when Lisa was there, Delores returned and she was feeling better.  Lisa called Gaspar and he was out looking for Delores at that very time!  They talked on the phone and now Gaspar has an idea where her house is.  Please continue to pray for Delores that she will be open to The Bible and the relationship that God would like to have with her.

Tomorrow is day three!!
