Clinic in Mactzul VI

We arrived in Mactzul VI we were the only ones there. Usually some of the church members meet us at the entry but today we had to find them. This was not a good sign for a busy clinic but we finished ok. We had 6 patients today.

We waited outside on the steps and then we waited inside near the medicine.............surely someone needed something.

Gaspar, Juan and I had just moved outside again when this man came to the clinic carrying his son on his back. Glenn and Neva were inside waiting. Then gentleman told us that his son has been in bed for 20 days, unable to walk. He had seen Josefina in Clinica Caris and brought the labwork she requested they obtain.

After we examined him and finished the consult, I noticed that contumbre was written under religion. I recognized his family from the church in Mactzul. He told me that he was not baptized. We talked to him about his need for baptism and Juan translated into K'iche' for his parents and grandmother. I hope something was said that will cause him to think about his realtionship with God and his need for baptism.

Then they decided to play nice for the camera:)

OK, tomorrow we are all headed to the coast for an end of the year meeting. Please pray that everyone has safe travels.
