Let the surgeries begin!!

I met Juan in Chichi this morning and we headed to the coast for three days of surgery. As we drove into the gated clinic, it always feels like home. We met for worship across the street from the clinic. After worship we regrouped for a quick lunch and then the surgeries began.

Eleven surgeries were done today and all of the patients have done well.

This is Sherry from Nashville, TN and this is her second trip to Guatemala. Her patient was having a little trouble breathing and and needed a respiratory treatment. Once the treatment was done, the patient was all smiles and her lungs were clear.



This is Olga from Sacramento and this is her third trip down. Each time she returns, she brings more people with her. She prays with the patients and helps translate for others before surgeries.
This is Carol, who is also from Sacramento and this is her first time here........I think she will also return on a future clinic :) As patients wait for their turn in the operating room, people pray with them and share hope...................providing both physical and spiritual care.

It was a good day and I trust tomorrow will be the same. Please continue to pray for our patients and the staff who are here. Good night :)
