How many tortillas are in one portion??

Today, Tomas, Manuel and I had the second diabetic class in Lemoa. The guys knew that in the first class we had problems seeing the photos so they hung some tarps around the clinic. They did a great job. It darkened the area and also kept the rain out! It rained almost all night here in Chichi. It is cold and wet!

We started out with just a few people but ended up with 12 in the class. This is a good number. This offers everyone the opportunity to participate and ask questions.

Juan and Gaspar have helped with most of the classes so this was a chance for Manuel and Tomas to participate. They translated into K'iche' and were great answering the questions. It is interesting to see how each of their teaching styles are different. I love to give a few key words and watch how they go with it. These will eventually be classes they will be teaching and they are on their way!

When we finished with class, we went to Chichi to meet with Kemmel. We spent part of the afternoon loading and unloading different things in preparation. A group will arrive from The States tomorrow and will be here a few days with us. We will have clinics, have some education in different schools and deliver more water filters. Yes, there is always something to do!

Please pray that the group has safe travels and everything goes well as they are here. I will keep you posted!
