Well, today the girls got up to go to the Hospital, with the hopes of doing Heidi's weekly OB/Gyn clinic and maybe even scheduling some more surgeries. Isaac went with them, since all the ladies at the Hospital keep asking when they get to see him again. There were no patients today, though! The second Friday of Lent is apparently a pretty major religious holiday here, and there were hardly any patients anywhere in the hospital.
This clinic over the past few weeks (since Dr. Hoak left the hospital to go pursue his permanent Guatemalan medical license by working for a year in The City) has been very slow-- only 3 or 4 patients! We are a little confused about why, but it is probably just a misunderstanding about Heidi still being there with Tom gone. Please pray for clarity in the direction this clinic should go. We will talk with hospital administration about maybe doing some more advertising if this keeps up.
Matt and David Ficker worked hard today overseeing more of the construction project here at the house. The first side of the driveway is done now, and they are getting things ready for the fence to go up. More pictures of that later.
Tomorrow we will head out to Canilla to see the Fickers as usual, and do clinics there and in San Andres on Sunday. Please continue to pray for direction as we look for a new Monday clinic and good guidance at Buen Samaritano.
Here are the aforementioned "gratuitous Isaac pics"-- They are his seven month pictures that we took this week...

Isaac is growing his body and his hair! He is so precious, we miss him so much. Give him hugs and kisses from Grandma and Grandpa.
It is exciting to see the progress around the house. House looks great painted.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, your patients and your mission.
Our love to The Ficker Family.
Love, Mom and Dad
We really want to reinforce that if you need a babysitter, we are just down the street... :-)
