Exam day for the promoters

****Before I begin the blog about today, I want to ask for special prayers for a lady named Paula. She recently found out she was pregnant when she had a consult with Josefina. She took vitamins and then miscarried. She is now feeling that she lost the baby because of the consult and because she took the vitamins. This is a very dificult time for them and also for the leaders of the community that help with the clinics. Please pray that that all will come to have a better understanding and that Paula and her husband will find the comfort and peace that they need at this time. ****

Today it rained and rained and rained.......of course, we are in Guatemala! Gaspar heard that it is suppose to rain for 24 hours straight.

Before the class started, we had a few minutes of singing and a short lesson by one of the guys from Mactuzul II. When the singing began, the rain seemed to lessen. The roster had 24 names on it so there was good attendance. Josefina prepared taught a short lesson and then they took the exam.

Gaspar was smart........he took his exam in the car where it was warmer!
This is Tomas, Mauri and Juan concentrating on their exam.
During their exam, I called different students trying to organize the interview schedule for the first of October. I am hoping that many students will return my call call tonight.

Lunch was wonderful! It was hot, chicken soup, tortillas and hot tea.

We heard from different people today about how some of the roads are not passable because of mudslides. We will just have to wait and see what happens with some of our clinics.

Tomorrow we head to Las Trampas. We hope to have some patients there. I will be sure to dress extra warmer because it is always cold there!

Today when everyone was singing, the rain seemed to lessen. Sometimes, I wonder what heaven will be like with so many people singing. How beautiful it will be! When groups come and visit, I hear songs from different parts of The States. Not every area sing the same songs and I am reminded of songs from OK that we did not sing in NC or in MI. It is something that we can look forward to............with NO rain!
