Clean water, clinics and students in Mactzul I

As usual, we had breakfast this morning and went in our different directions.

Many readers have asked about Trish and YES, she is officially here! I told her to say hello to her husband and here is is saying, "Good morning, honey!"

We set up clinic in Mactzul I and watched it get started. Once we knew that it was going well, some of us headed out to do water filters. It was a busy day and also a good day.

This was the first house that we went to before we split into two groups. This is the home of Rosa Macario Ajanel and she was in school.

This is the home of Josefa Nix Cuin, Maria Victoria and Jose Esteban. Michael and Bradley jumped right in and prepared this filter.

This home is belongs to Manuela Guisela, Vilma Cristina, Rosa Linda and Sylvia Maribel. This photo, we find later, begins a trend for the ABC children. Here the guys were holding the clothes line up so it would not be in the way of the photo.

This is the home of Tomasa Carmen. Bradley is helping by holding the clothes line up for the photo.

Then the walking began. The guys decided they wanted to conserve energy and carry the filters on their heads. It did not last long.

This is the home of Edgar Tomas and Manuel Enrique.

This is the home of Tomas Gabriel and Tomas Eliseo. Now, how confusing would that be to have two sons named Tomas? I would not be surprised if the father's name is also Tomas.

This was the first family of the day that had the ABC children at home. Manuela Angelica is on the left side of the filter in the orange shirt. The young girl with the green blouse is Erica Maribel. Their brother, Jose Anibel was in school.

Juana Sofia is in the front with the white and brown shirt. Her sister, Jessica Tomasa, was in school.

After this filters were delivered, we returned for lunch. We were offered a very good meal of beef, rice and tamalitos. Then it was time to hit the road again.

Our first delivery was to the home of Tomas, who had been working with us all morning. He has been a great help and we really appreciate him. When we delivered a filter to his home, he asked his son to raise his arm for the photo. Apparently, in the past photos he did not realize why the guys were raising their arms. His son is Jose Rogelio.

So, the trend continued that Tomas would ask the students to raise their arms. These students are Tomas and Norma Sente Calel.

This is the house of Jose Edwardo, in the green shirt. Claudia Juana is on the right side of the filter.

It was a great day and much was accomplished for the glory of God. Twenty-two filters were delivered, 43 dental patients were seen and 15 medical patients were attended to.

Before we left Mactzul I, I talked to Kemmel and they still had several patients to see before they would leave Xejox. We pray for their safe travels this evening.

Tomorrow is another day.......and yes.......another adventure! Thank you for your prayers.
