Large clinic in Chutzurob

Today, there were groups in different areas. Ours went to Chutzurob and we had a wonderful day with lots of patients..........and quite a variety of patients.

This is Samantha, Amy and Glenda before we began clinic.

Rita is getting ready. Juan, in the background is discussing different things with the members of the congregation.

We went outside to welcome all of the patients and pray before we started. It was great to see so many patients waiting for a medical consult or a dental consult. We eventually saw 46 medical patients and 21 dental patients.

Glenda counts and bags medicines so they will be ready for the patients.

My second patient wanted to know if she was pregnant. The husband was rather nervous and for most of the consult was on his knees. When I had the result of the exam, we returned to our consult area. When I told them she was pregnant, they just looked at me as if they were in shock. The husband returned to his knees and asked me, "Why?" The wife asked, "Why now?" That is when they told me that their youngest was 7 years old! My response to them was, "Because, God wants you to have another child." They finally gave a little smile.

The dental area stayed busy. Kim helping Dr. Dale.

If you remember "Sucio Jaime" from the day in Xepocol, he is now very clean and helping in dental with Larry.

The thunder rolled for most of the late morning and afternoon. I have been in Chutzurob when it rained and it was very difficult getting the trucks out........so then the dark clouds moved in, we moved the trucks up the hill.

We drove back to Chuchipaca to meet up with Lisa's clinic. It is a good thing that she called me because I would have forgot about them. Sorry :(

We dropped everyone off at the hotel and reloaded the trucks. We cleaned out the storage room at the hotel and delivered everything to Clinic Caris or to the office. All of our equipment now is in its proper place, more or less and the trucks are ready to carry people to Guatemala city tomorrow, if needed.

Tomorrow morning, we will have our worship and then everyone can hit the market for some fun.
