This morning, the guys and I headed to Chutzurob. There were patients waiting and I always love to see that. We prayed with the patients and began clinic.
We had a large variety of problems today. One lady's eye was very red and swollen. She said she has had this problem for four months. She has a ulceration on her cornea so we sent her to an eye specialist.
One young boy had pneumonia and he was stuggling to breath. He has had some fever for a few days so we gave him some Tylenol and a few breathing treatments. At first he didn't want to have anything to do with the mask but as it helped him, he fell asleep.
One lady had a huge hernia and we referred her to the hopsital in Santa Cruz.
So, it was a day of many different things and we finished with seeing 18 patients.
After we packed the truck, we drove to Paxot II to meet the MET Students who had traveled up from the coast. They will be with us for about 2.5 weeks.

We enjoyed a lunch of grilled steak, avocado and tamalitos. Did I say avocado????? It was wonderful!
These are the students before they traveled to their new home. They will live with a family and enjoy the Mayan life.
After we finished eating, some of us jumped in the back of a truck to return where we had to leave our truck. There were about 15 us in the truck, mostly children.I was holding on between Kemmel and Juan and trying to take photos at the same time.
I think I have THE FIRST Mayan smile on camera!! This is Ruben and Manuel's dad. I know that Reuben does not count because he is from Nicaragua but look at Manuel's dad!!
It was a fun day! We had a good clinic and will continue to pray for the patients. The students are safe............what more could one ask for?????I will continue to keep you posted on their / adventures!
