Today we met at the hotel and drove to Xatinab I. We parked the trucks, loaded all of our equipment on our backs and proceeded down a hill, across a swamp and through a corn field to reach our clinic. We set up two consultation areas, an eye examination area and two dental chairs.....then the patients arrived.
In total there were 50 medical patients, 12 eye patients and 15 dental patients.
The first photo is of Byron leading the way through the swamp as we carried our equipment. The second photo is of the group, minus Charlie who was helping with dental patients and Allison who was consulting with a medical patient.
The third photo is of Sarah and her new friend.
The last photo is the child we saw on July 18th, Juan Diego. You can review his story on that blog. He has gained 4 pounds since we saw him last and was more alert. He continues to have a long way to go but we will continue to pray that he does well.
We had dinner at Mi Taco Express and we really were the highlight of the owners day. He will be happy to see us again tomorrow evening. We concluded with a devotional in the hotel and will meet again at 0730 before we head to Chuchipaca
