Woodlands Team/Surgery

Today was Day 3 of the Woodlands Methodist Team. They're helping with construction work at the school in San Pedro in the mornings, then doing Vacation Bible School in the afternoons. For the second straight day, they had 188 kids - way more than they anticipated. So that's a great thing!

Also today, Heidi had two surgeries at the Hospital Buen Samaritano. Katie Ficker came in to help out with those and Russell Leatherman's dad, Gary, went down to watch. One was just a small vaginal repair and the other was the removal of a fairly good sized mass in the abdomen of a woman that the team knows. She is the mother of a couple of students they're sponsoring at the Utatlan School and she has also been taken in by Pastor Eliseo.

We were very happy to get the call from Heidi that her mass was safely out and that it did not appear cancerous - just a simple fibroid tumor in her uterus.

Tomorrow Heidi is at ASELSI. Matt will do some more work on the recording project (he was very glad to have Russell's help this week - Russ is a guitar and bass player.)

The first two pics are of Heidi with Katie and Gary. The next one is of Tye and his mom, Bethany Leatherman. And the last one is Isaac sharing his thoughts on the whole thing...
