Where are the patients?? They are baking bread!

Gaspar, Juan, Martina, Marcos and I headed to Chutzurob this morning. Usually there are patients waiting outside for us but today it looked different. When we asked where the patients were, we were told everyone in the community is baking bread for Semana Santa next week. It is their holy week and it is full of activities and food........

We did have ten medical patients and one dental patients. I enjoyed the day because most of the patients but did not have a place of worship or they were listed as costumbre. These are opportunities that we need to take advantage of. When people are sick or hurting, it is a time that Christians can bolding proclaim the love of Christ and God's desire for a relationship with them. We invited many of the patients to worship with The Church in Chutzurob and the members there will continue to pray and extend their hand of love.

After the patients were seen, some of us hiked to a small store for something to drink........as you can see, the store sold several Cokes.



Tonight Kemmel, Lisa and I will have dinner with Jane who started Evelyn's Baskets of Love and Life. She arrived in Guatemala yesterday and has already connected with some babies that have needs. Her photo and email is on the front of the blog if you are interested in contacting her. She brings baskets for babies who are born with cleft lips and palates. She educates the mothers on the needs of these children so they can get the proper nutrition that they need for surgery.
