Clinic in Mactzul III
However, I was encouraged when I saw the signs that had been posted in the roads about our clinic today. I do not remember them doing this before so this is a step in the right direction.

We had four patients...........when all of the patients were seen , it was time for the school break. All of the 30 students came to see us. They all stood around my bench and wanted to learn English. I asked them what they wanted to learn and they told me the alphabet............so we practiced the alphabet a few times. After their class was over, 8 of them returned to learn a few more words. I will see how much they remember when we return on August 12th.
Finally, I have a photo of Mary Beth to blog. I have mentioned her and the seminar that she is doing in Paxot II on Friday and Saturday. She is speaking to the ladies on Ephesians. Rosario, has come to translate into K'iche' for her. They are studying and preparing for a couple days before the seminar begins. We enjoyed dinner together tonight.
So, we have Kemmel, Lisa and Mary Beth in the back with Rosario and I in the front.
I think the ladies of Paxot will be blessed on Friday and Saturday. The days will be special for them.

When you think you have the day planned...........
Lisa gave me a ride this morning to Clinica Carris this morning for our educational day with the guys. After we arrived, Kemmel called and said that Josefina and her team could not make it to their clinic because of protests in the street. We waited so they could join in on the education but they never made it because of the streets being blocked.
Within a few minutes, Kemmel called and said we should head home while we could because they may block more streets later in the day.
Later, I saw Manuel walking in Chichi. He told me that his team had to get out of the truck and join the protest even though they did not want to. Later, Josefina told me that they had to wait 30-40 minutes before they could get back into the truck. She had been very nervous and I can see why.
So, it was another day, another adventure...........without the education that Lisa had planned.
Please pray for our safety tomorrow as the guys and I travel Mactzcul III for clinic.

Calm day..............

Lisa, Kemmel and Mary Beth went to Paxot II to celebrate a birthday. Some bug hit me the other day so I have decided to stay home.
Mary Beth will be having a ladies class in Paxot II on Friday and Saturday. Rosario, from the coast, will come and translate into K'iche'. I think that Mary Beth could translate for herself but she will let Rosario do it this time. Please pray for her during these two days. It is a great opportunity for the ladies to hear and learn more from the book of Ephesians.
The eye team will be here next Saturday. Please pray for their safe arrival and the healing of their patients. We have three patients from this area going for surgery.

Last Group Photo in Chichicastenango
We pray that they have a safe flight home. They will return home with many good memories. They have made new friends and served others, while reflecting the love of Christ.Photo Catch-up
Getting ready to screen students in Sepela on Thursday. I think the teacher is having as much fun as the students.
Steve and Kristin are not sure they want to ride the bus home..............while Diana is like me, she is looking forward to the adventure!
