I met Aura in the park this morning and then we proceeded to Chichi to get Gaspar, Maury and Juan. Usually, Aura and Maudy do not work with us on Saturdays but it was nice to have them along with us today. The drive was good and they joked with each other in K'iche' on how different words are pronounced. The girls can come across timid sometimes but they can dish a little teasing too :)
When we arrived in Chutzurob, we were so excited because you could tell they had prepared for us. Now, this is only our second clinic here but they have the routine down! They had strung a tarp to protect the patients from the rain, had put up two drapes for privacy and had made two large signs about the clinic. As soon as we were getting out out the truck, they were helping us unload and carry in the equipment. There were 6 people from the congregation helping us today.
As we were finalizing equipment, Sebastian was already outside praying with the patients. There were 32 medical patients and 7 patients for dental cleaning.......all were on their knees in prayer.
When we were finished inside, we went outside and welcomed everyone. Gaspar talked a little about teeth cleaning and why it is important to good health..........then we began clinic for the day!
This is one of the signs made about Health Talents........with Maury and Aura helping the display
This was a second sign that was hung outside for patients to see.
We were able to follow up with a patient that we visited in his home on May 31st. It was when the MET students were here and we did two house-calls that day. He was unable to walk at that time and had been very sick. Today he looked very good and came to the clinic to thank us. I really believe that God will use the clinics to help grow The Church in this area. When other congregations have been this involved and proactive with clinics, the results are remarkable. Please keep The Church and Chutzurob in your prayers.
