I then stopped at Pat Hile's clinic real quick to deliver some messages that people had blogged.....then drove on to Paxot II for another ABC clinic.
Juan, Allison, Colin, Michael and I had clinic with 53 patients. One brother from the congregation helped us translate to K'iche'. Maybe in another 18 years, I can be another Patricio and not need a translator...........please, no breath holding :)
It took us a few minutes to get set up and then we we were rolling.........
Paxot II is an area that really likes to feed you! They have a huge kitchen area that has 6 vented wood stoves plus another center area used for cooking. At 10 am they served us atole, a corn base drink and bread. Then for lunch, we were very impressed with the presentation! We marvelled at the colors and portions! We had pollo dorado (spicey fried chicken), frijoles negro (black beans), repollo (cabbage), rabanos (radishes) and tamalitos.
Colin made a new friend today, Hector.
We finished clinic today about 1630. As we were packing up, we were served another portion ofatole and bread.
Since the students live in the area of the clinic, they just stayed after we were done. I returned to Chichi to get Aura and then drove her home. Please pray for her grandmother as she has cancer and is not doing very well. We practiced English and K'iche' on our drive home in the rain.
It was a great day and it is such a blessing to see the ABC Children benefit from people in The States who want to help. For those who sponsor children, many prayers of thanks are sent in your behalf.......due to your love and compassion. Gracias a Dios!
