From Kimberly today!


Hola!  My name is Kimberly—I am a third year OB/GYN resident here helping out Dr Bell on her missions to this beautiful mountain town.  Today was numero 3 of our trip!!!  I have always loved to participate in mission activities and having been to Guatemala before, I had an idea of what a difference we could make.  The last time I participated in a mission trip here, I was a medical student.  Now as a resident, I am so happy to be able to make even more of a difference.  My team and I have been super busy seeing patients in clinic (up to 30 per day!!) and filling up the OR (shoutout to Alma—our amazing scrub tech).  It has been nothing short of awesome what we have been able to do together.  And I mean together.  I am so so so blessed to have such amazing mentors helping me mature as a physician and surgeon as we operate on such inspiring patients.  I love rounding on our little ladies and getting to know their families.  Speaking of—it’s getting late and we have a full day tomorrow.  Lots of patients to see!  Thank you for your prayers and blessings on our team on our last day here!
