A small group came to join us a couple of weeks ago, to do a few days of medical and dental clinics. This trip would be special in many ways but mainly, it would be Dr. Haller's 50th trip to Guatemala. His wife, Barbara, often accompanies him but was not able to make it this trip. Barbara's last trip was her 25th trip to Guatemala.
I was only able to have one day in clinic with the group and that was a disappointment but we made the best of the day! We loaded up three trucks and headed to Mactzul 5 for an ABC Clinic. While we were seeing an ABC family, the mom gave her baby to Debra to hold as she sat with her other children.
Julie was able to see one of her ABC Children, Galindo. He is doing very well is school and enjoys studying.
Julie works as Dr. Haller's assistant when Barbara is not able to be here with us. They love to cut up and joke around.
That evening at our devotional, Julie wanted to present Dr. Haller a gift that she had made. She had taken several of the Health Talent T-shirts that she has collected over the years and made a blanket for him, to honor his 50th trip. His first trip was in 1990 with the Abilene University group
Dr. Haller is a true servent and we have been very blessed to have him working with us over the years
Colossians 3:23, 24-----Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people. You know that it is from the Lord that you will receive the inheritance as a reward. It is the Lord Messiah whom you are serving. (ISV)
Dr. Haller's years of service reflects this verse by the way he always treats his patients.

Marcos and Tania were able to join us for dinner. Marcos was a scholorship student and worked with us a few years. He now has his dental practice in Quiche but continues to serve with us when we have groups.
It was a small team that came but it made it very personal
Thank you, Dr. Haller for your years of service, for touching many people over the years and for being an example of Jesus. We will look forward to trip number fifty-one!
