Clinic Day 2

Hello and good morning! Yesterday was another beautiful day! The clinic was busy with more  wounds and diabetic care. Again, stickers and coloring pages were a huge hit with the kids! We also attended church in the afternoon which truly was a blessing, being able to worship alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ in Guatemala. Our team chose 3 songs to sing in front of the congregation: “Thy Word” (Tu Palabra), “O Sing to the Lord” (Cantad al Señor), and “Here I am, Lord.” Today clinic will be a little longer, about 8:00am-4:00pm, where we hope to help those who come in, put a smile on their face, and plant Jesus in their heart. Every day here is full of challenges, no doubt. Our resources are limited, but God always provides. I liked the way one of our team members put it yesterday while reflecting on the day. She said, “It feels like a ‘loaves and fish situation’ because every time I think that we are going to run out of a certain medication or something, someone always finds more.” That is God at work. He works in us and through us in things big and small. Another team member reminded us today that “God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good.” God truly has blessed us every day leading up to this trip as well as every day here on the field serving His people, and He will continue to bless us all through all the days of our lives. No matter the language we speak, the clothes we wear, or the paycheck we receive, we all are the same. We all are brothers and sisters in Christ. We all can turn to him in any time, trouble or joy.  We all can count on His plan to guide our lives. We all can trust in Him to know what is best for us, even if we might not see it. We all can join together in prayer and holy communion, singing, and worshipping the Lord.
Today will be a full and busy day! We hope to do some home visits today since the weather stopped us from going out yesterday. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Guide the hands of the doctors, the lips of the translators, and the hearts of us all to do work that glorifies the Lord.
