Finally figured out how to post pictures more efficiently...

One of my favorite "little old Guatemalan lady" pictures of all time... thanks to Hale Stephenson!


The sound of women's hand shaping tortillas is ubiquitous on any Guatemalan street...


Beautiful flowers for sale in the market... Couldn't resist buying them for about $1.30!


 Our clinic room.  There's a nicer ultrasound we can use across the courtyard in another room, but this one works in a pinch!


 Our "own" shelf in the storage room.  How amazing to have such a well-stocked clinic here! Thanks to all who have donated-- from clinic nurses who squirrel away expired meds to Keith Nelson buying us a scale to bring down to my in-laws stocking us up with donated glucose testing supplies from friends and family, to Hale bugging the hospital and drug reps for supplies, to students gathering them up over the years, to the ladies at the SurgiCenter in Greenville and their ongoing efforts to "waste not, want not", it is amazing how it all adds up!


One of our favorite shots of the week... Nichelle trying to overcome the language barrier to teach a patient how to arch her back out for the anesthesiologist to put a spinal anesthetic in...
