Thursday........a little relief fom the HEAT

Today was the clinic in Xejeup, where there is a waterfall. During every surgical clinic week, people have the opportunity to go and visit the falls. I have never gone before and since there were enough nurses, Marie asked me to go along........sure :)

We entertained ourselves while Dr. Walter and the MET student did clinic. We walked around, drank a Coke, played some games just to pass the time and then headed to the falls. Here we are sitting in front of the church building. The lady, who only speaks K'iche', wanted to sit with us while we were taking photos.

While Cody (TN) is taking this photo, we have Michael (NC), the K'iche' patient, myself, John (TX), Lauren (TN), Jared (MN) and Josh (NC).

When it is time to go to the falls...........it was time. This is Cody and Lauren. This is Lauren's second trip to Guatemala and Cody's first.

This is Jared and his birthday is this week..............Happy Birthday!!

This is John............I told him to strike a pose and he did :)

This is Michael and Josh. Unfortunately, Josh was not feeling well this day and later we found he had a 102 temperature :(

It was a fun day.......and we returned to the clinic without any problems. Of course, we had to make a run to Chicaco for some icecream...........

Today there were 14 patients. Even though it was heavier in numbers, the procedures were shorter. As always, we want to say Gracias a Dios for His love, mercy and care.
