Clinic Today and Assorted Randomness

Today was our clinic in Chicabracan. Nothing terribly exciting, except for a few diabetic patients who are continuing to control their diabetes well. It's not exactly front page news, but it means that they're enjoying a higher quality of life, and hopefully a longer one, than they would have had without the help that has come from all of you who support this mission.

Also, we received the news today that our fundraising efforts for the cleft palate kids we're working with have been amazingly successful. Thank you SO much to all of you who have donated. We tackled this challenge with the trust that God would provide and He has - in a big way!

And, having very little else to write about today, we'll throw in some more pics from Matt's parents' visit. The first is a picture of a fairly typical house in this part of the world.

The second is one of Matt and Heidi in clinic in San Andres. (We don't get too many pictures of us together, so here's one!)

The third is of our kitchen with the very exciting new curtains there. (Maybe not exciting to you, but exciting to us and it's our blog - so HA!)

And the last one is of Paul and Lindsey in clinic with us today. They are a husband and wife and are Guatemalan medical students who are supported by Agape In Action. They are off between school years in November and December and they will be covering clinics for us while we're back in the US over Christmas.

I LOVE YOUR CURTAINS! You guys are so domestic. Thanks for posting the pics of yourselves. It's nice to "see" you every once in a while. Miss you and look forward to (hopefully) seeing you over X-mas.
