We saw 20-something patients, ranging from chronics (diabetes/hypertension/seizures) to prenatals to a couple of sick kids to a woman who was afraid her baby was sick (she was perfectly healthy - YAY!) to a single woman who goes to a different doctor nearly every day hoping that something is wrong with her.
The first and third pics are Heidi doing a prenatal check on some pregnant women, the second is an older couple we work with each time (he has high blood pressure, she has gastritis), and the last one is our cute little boy.
The older couple (Santos and Petronila) are the only ones we talked to today who haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ (unless you count the ones who weren't sure where they were going when they die). One lady informed us that when she dies, she's going over there to the cemetery... maybe our question wasn't too clear! Please pray for this couple. We will continue to talk to them, but we're afraid there's not an unlimited amount of time left.
This afternoon, we had a Gringo Network meeting, but the only ones who could make it were ourselves, Virginia (from ASELSI), and Chris Mooney - a guy who has a wheelchair ministry in Chimaltenango. We got to learn a lot about his ministry, and the fact that he brings in about ten containers a year from the US (each containing well over 100 wheelchairs).
Tomorrow is our day off, but as per normal, it's being invaded. This time in a good way, though, we hope. The Mazda dealer tells us that the truck will be ready a few days early. So we'll go down tomorrow afternoon (after hopefully sleeping in a bit) to pick it up. We'll swing by the airport and get some things out of Duane's truck, too, that wouldn't fit in the plane this past trip. Then we'll have a nice dinner out, spend the night, and come back in the morning so Heidi can operate Wednesday afternoon.

Isaac looks so cute all dressed up for clinic.
Pray that the truck is repaired and ready to serve.
Love and hugs, Mom
