Completed ABC Clinic in Mactzul V

Today we finished seeing the children in Mactzul V. We had 36 patients with their families so we had quite a crowd. Marcos also was with is and he did the dental exams.

This is Josefina with one of her families.

We were really pleased with the children during these clinics. Most have gained a few pounds and are continuing to grow.

Holly checking out a patient before his consult.
Ester checks out another patient. When she saw her photo she said, "I really look confused." I told her not to worry, this is how we would remember her :)


This little boy was not to happy with his dental visit but later he was playing and doing well.

After all of the patients were seen and the trucks were loaded, fourteen of us had lunch together. Sabastian from the area thanked everyone for their work and told us what a great blessing ABC program is for their area. Before we opened our lunch, some thought it was grilled steak and others thought it was fried chicken. We kept everyone anticipating during the prayer and then everyone was able to open their box..............................fried chicken it was!

This is Ester, Nathan and Holly on their last day of clinic with us. We wish them a safe return home and good luck with their studies.
Our banquet.
I would like to ask you for special prayers as we all travel in different directions through the rest of the week. We know how important prayer is for daily travels. Tomorrow, we go to Chuguexa and the other group travels to La Palma. They will continue with an ABC Clinic there and we will have our regular clinic. Lisa and Kemmel will travel to Panajachel with the students and then on to Antigua.

I think of Ezra when he asked for God's hand to be on them during their journey.

Ezra 8: 21-23

I proclaimed a fast so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all of our possessions. I was ashamed to ask the King for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from the enemies on the road because I told the King, "The gracious hand of our God in on everyone who looks to Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him."

Our God is the same today as He was then. He is a jealous God, wanting nothing less than our full commitment to Him. Let us continue to serve Him. He is Faithful!
