Mom and dad entertained themselves. Dad put up the last window blind and made plans to start painting tomorrow. Mom helped dad and then counted medicine. They bought alot of suckers with them since they had heard that the people here really like them. Below they gave me their best Guatemala pose with their suckers:)
Dad made friends with the local shepherd lady. She lives near the clinic and is always tending to her flock and weaving as she walks. As I have mentioned in other blogs, in my next career I will be a shepherd. Dad wanted a photo of her and he thought she said no so he started walking away. Then he realized she wanted him to wait a minute as she pulled a comb out of her blouse and combed her hair for him!! It is a great photo and I will post it when I can get it from him.
After clinic mom and dad went to their hotel to rest a little. I went home and studied more for our next class with the health promoters. I am doing some teaching on CPR and it will be very interesting.
We had dinner with Lisa and Kemmel tonight. Matt, Jenna and Reese were also there and it was a very enjoyable evening. Tomorrow Matt will attend clinic with Lisa. After clinic they will head to Panajachal and then on to Peru for a month. Please pray for them as they continue to travel and prepare for his medical residency.
Please also remember Lisa as she has recieved word that her last 6 months will be in The City. We were really hoping for Santa Cruz but for some reason, it just did not happen. They are headed to The City tomorrow to begin to look for housing. Kemmel will be able to return to help keep us on track but it will be different. This is just one of those things and we will remember that it is for just a few short weeks.
