My little buddy, Victor, was there today and he was wearing the UNC cap. His mom tells me that he still is getting along well with his brothers and other boys. He is also helping his dad and this is good. He had one big seizure this month so he is still doing better. People in the community do not understand seizures and give his mom a hard time. They tell her that she should put him in a hospital or seek out a professes. Sometimes it is also difficult for her. But overall, I think the family is doing better and in time, can even improve more.
One lady was pregnant and she simply was not healthy. We talked about her eating, since she does not like to eat and also seeing her mid-wife more often. This family, as Tomas', are not Christians. This is will be their 7th child so we also talked about responsibilities that parents have when they have children. Yes, we teach them different things in life that are important but more important is teaching them about Christ. We invited them back to clinic and to the worship service in Xepol. We will see what happens.
When the guys and I returned to the truck, we had a flat tire. It is the first one I have had here in Guatemala. We were dirty when we finished but we were glad that we changed it with minimal problems.
Our drive home was uneventful.......the new tire did not fall off the truck! Every day is an adventure and it prevents us from being bored :)
