So a week ago yesterday...we thought we'd give a helpful hand to our dear friend Dr. Heidi once again at her rural clinic in Chicabracan. It actually worked out perfect since the power went out across the city of Quiché, so we really couldn't do anything at the office or at home either.
This time around the pastor friend of Heidi and Matt came out to the clinic to pray and preach to the "waiting room." He is a very nice guy and I'm sure he is touching the lives of these rural Guatemalans. Unfortunately he is getting married in June and will be moving to be with his wife in Honduras. We pray that God helps find an adequate replacement to help witness at their clinic.

During our morning at the clinic we seemed to be seeing patients with almost all the same symptoms. Many children and adults are suffering from dry skin, lips, mouth and allergies. Right now is the tail-end of the dry season so it is very dusty and the air is dry. We passed out lots of chapstick, moisturizer, and allergy medicine. And we recommended that everybody drink much more water and bathe with actual bath soap and not laundry or dish soap because those are very harsh on the skin. A few of the regular diabetes patients came for checkups and meds, but in general it was a low-key clinic.
It was nice for us to help out the Mayans, but also Heidi in particular. Since her and Matt have a 9 month old, it is much easier to conduct clinic if the little tyke stays at home with Daddy. It was a pleasure to assist with what we could.
