Another wonderful day!

Today we had clinic in Lemoa. There were patients waiting for us and that is always a good site!

We began our morning with prayer. There were several prayer requests. Lisa and Kemmel's safe travel and the exams that Maury and Martina will be taking. We prayed for a young child that lives in Paxot II that needs to to go to the city for tests but the parents feel they can not afford it. We also prayed for the child in Chutzurob that also needs to go to the city for exams. Prayer is very important and we believe that God will answer.

There were 11 patients for consult and Gaspar had one dental cleaning.

There were 4 diabetic patients and all were controlled! It is very exciting to see patients improve and many times it is because they better understand the disease. One patient originally came with a blood sugar of 549 and today he was 109!

One lady returned with her ultrasound report and she does not have an abdominal mass. How exciting is that?

One man came in with his son today, who was the patient. The father was basically jumping to the ceiling and yelling since he was so nervous over his son, whose main complaint was how nervous he was.

As the father talked louder, I spoke more softly. I finally was able to get him to sit back down and let the son talk more to me. As with many patients, they had jumped from one clinic to another getting whatever medicine they could........just hoping to feel better. The son was getting injections, of who knows what, every eight days.

We talked for quite awhile and then they stated talking about spiritual things. We talked about going from one church to another and being so confused on what they were being taught. One group would tell them what they needed to do and then another group would tell them something different. Because of this, they do not worship anywhere. The son told me his head was just too full and he could not sleep at night.

I emphasised the teachings of The Bible. We should not listen to what men say but to what God says. Now, in a culture where many people do not read, these people have to listen. How many times do we take reading and writing for granted??

These men are able to read so I asked them to read a portion of Acts and pray every night. They will return in a week and we will talk again.

When they went to get there medicine from the pharmacy, they talked more to Juan. Later, I heard they had made plans to go and talk to Sebastian in Mactzul V. When people seek God, He will be there. He is not a God of confusion. He wants people to understand the truth.

So, today was another wonderful day!
