ACU meets Xepocol

Everyone met for breakfast and then the trucks headed in two different clinics. Our group went to Xepocol, the community of Gaspar.

We had clinic in our usual area and the view was as beautiful as usual. Here Dan, Georgia, Kayla, Lauren, Shevaun and Brett stand behind the clinic. This is also the area that Brett stayed in when he was a MET student last year.

We got the patients checked in and then the clinic began. We had about 13 medical patients and 16 dental patients. This was the dental area..........unfortunately, Gaspar only had one dental cleaning.

Shevaun and I worked in the pharmacy. During some down-time we had some visitors :)

Some necklaces were made for the children out of beads. Each color had a different representation. Dan told me what each color represented, I translated to Manuel and then he translated into K'iche' for the patients. The children really liked the necklaces and appreciated them. Manuel gave a quiz at the end to see how much they had paid attention and they did very well!

The students also took bubbles, which are very popular and played outside with the children.

We were served chow-mein for lunch........who would have thought, "chow mein in Guatemala?" It was very good...........high carbs.......chow mein and tortillas!

On our way home we stopped by the Clinica Caris to get a few things. This is Kelsey, Barrett, Brittany and Brett on the side of the clinic.

We had a good devotional and dinner and then said goodnight. I am spending the night with Lisa and Kemmel so I will not have to wake anyone to get into the garage :) Just one of those things...............tomorrow another day and another adventure!!
