Clinic (and more!) Day 1

Good evening, again! We had an absolutely incredible day here in Guatemala for our first day of clinic! We were able to see 81 patients total from the hours 8:00am-1:00pm that our clinic was open today. Within those hours we saw many severe wounds, burns, and orthopedic issues, as wellas chronic diseases and pain. On the lighter sideof things, many kids also learned the proper wayto brush their teeth, spent time coloring, and playing soccer outside between rain showers. Our team has been working incredibly well together and we thank God for blessing each of us with the various gifts and abilities that allow this team to work so smoothly! After clinic, we enjoyed another amazing home cooked meal before the church opened its doors for a Kid’s Club where hours were spent in God’s word, studying, signing, and reading! After wrapping up our little study groups with the kids, we had tamales, chicken soup, and friend plantains for dinner after singing some more songs while listening to the rain on the tin roof! To wrap up the day, we had a great team-member-lead bible study about fear and how the only One we need to fear is God. We need tofear him not in a negative way as we may fear the things of this world, but out of love and respect. Tomorrow we plan on bringing the blessings ofmedicine to people unable to visit us by going totheir homes! Please continue to pray for us, our interpreters, our hosts, and the people we see! God truly has blessed us here with amazing resources, people, and smooth sailing thus far!

Praise the Lord!
