Clinic in Chuchuca

Yesterday, Maury teased me about needing to be ready at 0500 to leave for Chuchuca. We are having a little competition going to see who can catch each other off guard......we are tied right now, but I will get ahead :)

Manuel, Gaspar and Maury picked me up on the road at 0700 and then we stopped to get Josefina in Quiche. As we passed through Lemoa, the trees serving as speed bumps were tore out of the blocks of cement holding them down. I think Lemoa and the bus drivers are also playing a little game as Maury and I are. Right now, the bus drivers are up by one :(

This photo was taken in Chuchuca, one of the last times we were there. The rainy season has not started strong yet so the land is very dry there. But in time, it will be this green again.

We saw 15 medical patients and Gaspar had 9 dental cleaning.

We will return again next month and hopefully see even more patients.

As we were packing the truck this afternoon, Agostin was telling us about some baptisms in the area. There was a small church that was started with only two members and recently some people were baptized at 1:00 in the morning. Agostin said, "Remember the jailer that was baptized?" Yes, that is a great event in The Bible. It was so important that they did not want to wait. Anyway...........now this congregation has over 20 members! I look forward to hearing more about it when we return next month.
