Day 5: August 20, 2014

Today is the third day of clinic and we are getting into a rhythm and continue to be blessed by our teamwork and all of the people we meet and help.

We had such sad news from Nurythis morning. Our hearts were heavy for Ubaldo, who has been working with us, upon the news of his daughter' passing. Our thoughts were with him and his family all day.

Phillipians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving  in every situation give your requests to God.



Sandi is posing with Rene, probably the best bus driver in Guatemala.  Rene was with is on the trip from start to finish. He guarded our things, kept the bus spotless, and could drive on the wrong side of the road in an "extended merge" like you wouldn't believe!  He also could drive the bus through very small places.




Because Ubaldo wasn't with us, Rene stepped in to help with the clinic.







This is Pastor Louis's son, Louis Jose.  He also came to help today.  He did an awesome job telling the bible story.





Margaret is very talented and our resident music maker.


It's amazing how much fun a simple ball can be!









This beautiful woman is 85. Her daughter brought her to the clinic. She stayed a long time, happy to be with lots of happy people.   She was grateful for her glasses.

David is so kind to everyone.







After the clinic we wanted to give our respect to Ubaldo and his family. We stopped to buy flowers and drove to his house north of town.   We walked up to his house.... Via this path.  It was slippery, rocky, and steep.  We couldn't believe this was the path to his house.


Ubaldo lives in this house on the side of a hill.  It was said to be one of the better houses in town.


What a blessed, sad, and joyful day.
