Clinic in Xatinab

Today we had clinic in Xatinab. We had 13 patients and as always we were welcomed into the home of Josefa. We met Josefa a few months ago at another clinic and at that time she invited us to start having clinic in her home because she felt she could help her community. She has since then opened her home to us and has welcomed her neighbors.

The hospitality of most Guatemalans reflects the passage of I Peter 4:9, where we are told to be hospitable without grudge or grumbling. In a moments notice, they usually want to share their food, home and anything that they possible can. It is a culture that is very refreshing and not concerned with how the house will look and if everything is in proper order.

Yesterday, Josefina introduced me to the fruit, granadilla, also known as passion fruit. I had never had one before so she showed me how to crack it open and eat the inside. All of us enjoyed one, except for Kemmel. I will not share his thoughts on granadilla.
