The Babies Are Ready!

It is seems that February and August roll around quicker each year!  In just a few weeks, we have three babies who are returning to Montellano for their palate surgery.  We pray that God will continue to bless those that sponsor children and those who come to Guatemala to help during the surgical week.

Jesus had a heart for children.  Even when his disciples tried to turn the children away, Jesus brought them close. 

Matthew 19:14-----Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

This was Dilon last year before his surgery. His surgery touched many of us, since it was sponsored BY a child.  Ava, had heard about helping others and wanted to do the same.  She made bracelets and sold them to sponsor Dilon's surgery.  Yes, inspirational!

This is Dilon, a year later! His parents are very thankful and appreciate the future that Dilon has.  Thank you, Ava!

This is Brayon and one of my favorite photos from last year!  I apologize the latest photo did turn out well, so I will post another as soon as I can.  Brayon and his parents are doing well.  Brayon is running and will hardly sit still.....hence, no photo update.  His surgeries are sponsored by Angie and his family thanks you!

Nelson, use to have head-light eyes but he has changed!!  He could have won any staring contest last year........but he has mellowed!!

I actually bored Nelson and could not keep him awake for the exam. His surgery is sponsored by Beverly, Wayne and Doris from Lenoir, North Carolina.  I am working on getting Beverly and Wayne down here later this year. Hope to see you guys soon and thank you for helping Nelson!

It was a good clinic today!  We have hired a new guardian for the clinic.  As you can see the path is worn from the road up to the clinic porch.........we do not need lawn mowers or machetes, just cows and lambs.  We are still in the dry season so we are surrounded by dust and allergies.

Tomorrow, we will have clinic in Patzite and a little competition between medical and dental.  Of course, I am accustom to losing to Aura and Martina and I am sure that I will again tomorrow.
