Pics!!!

We just got home from our Cleft Palate Screening / Mini-vacation with Matt's parents. It was a wonderful time. We literally took over 100 pictures. Okay, most were of volcanos and such, but we got a few of the families we travelled with, too.

The first pic is of most of the families in the restaurant on the way to Antigua.

The second is everyone lined up in front of the bus. (The guy kneeling is Miguel, our driver / interpreter / evangelist.)

The third is of three of the moms with their babies, waiting to be seen.

And the last is of us at Pollo Campero. Four pics, two of us eating. That's about right, I think!

Anyway, we stopped in Los Encuentros on our way home from Lake Atitlan and bought some furniture for the house. Now we actually have a dresser instead of Jaffa Blocks! Yes, we know, it's all very exciting. We got the handmade bureau and a handmade bench for the entryway for less than $150 combined. Try THAT in the U.S.!

And when we got home, we had a message on our machine from some folks who know what we were up to and apparently we have two more cleft palate kids to add to our list. Obviously, God has a plan for us, at least for the moment. Thanks SO, SO, much to all of you who have donated to help these kids. We will certainly be sending you some pictures from this weekend. God has been very faithful and has caused lots of hearts (and wallets) to open and has started a veritable flood of help. (He only promised not to flood the world again - I think floods of love are still okay!)

Well, we have two "days off" coming up with some home improvement work to do. (And only three or four patients scheduled to come see us...)
