Heidi officially started work this week. She has a new office, phone, pager, schedule, etc. Matt's mom and dad are in town for a few weeks to help out with Isaac because Matt leaves in the morning for Guatemala (with one side trip).
We heard back from Aaron and Katie. They went to Chicabracan on Monday to cover our clinic there. It's so nice to know that our patients have not been abandoned, but are in outstanding hands. Katie took the first two pics below (of patients of ours) so we could see how they're doing! Thanks so much, guys!!!!
We also got an email from the group in Houston with a funny story about how they managed to squeeze a 4-wheeler (and a big one at that) in the back of the 4Runner. It involved planks, trees, and a few concrete blocks. You don't want to know the rest. The other three pics below are of the legal portions of that process.
Anyway, Matt flies to Atlanta tomorrow for a friend's wedding, then to Houston on Sunday. He'll meet up with Don Allison, pick up the 4Runner (with a 4-wheeler inside it) and drive to the Texas-Mexico border. They'll spend the night there and hit the border first thing Monday morning.
If all goes well (and it never does), they'll arrive in Guatemala on Wednesday. Matt will hang out a few days, then fly out of Guatemala City on Monday, arriving in Houston that afternoon. Then he flies back to North Carolina on Tuesday.
We'll try to post some stories from the road once he gets to Guatemala. Hopefully, the trip will be so uneventful that there will be nothing to tell.... But probably not.
