Well, the last few days have been without much incident and we enjoyed a couple of day where we could be at home and not have to travel anywhere.
On Friday we got the truck unstuck with the help of a tow truck. Our truck was located about 30 -45 minutes outside of Santa Cruz. The man started to help us and commented " Hay hombre, esto si esta travado!" Oh man, this is really stuck! So it made us feel better that we could not get it out ourselves. Q300 ($30) and 45 minutes later we were out of the mud. It was a dual winch job! He tried just one and it would not work, so he had to connect the second and a very large chain. We were stuck right next to a school, so we provided entertainment for the children as well.
On Sunday we went to worship at the Church of Christ in Chichicastenango and got to see some friends we had not seen in a few weeks due to all of the running around. There were 2 men who were reconciling with the church after not coming for over 3 years. This was a pretty exciting moment for the church as the families of these 2 men have been attending all throughout this time and they were well know by the members of the church. The sermon was mostly in kiche, so much of it was hard to understand and during class we talked about singing as the church is going to start to emphasize some more classes on how to worship through our voice.
Yesterday it was back to work. Lisa's professor/boss came by the clinic to spend some time with her and helped align some of the tasks she needs to do for her program. I think this helped Lisa feel a little better about things - there is just alot of busy work that needs to be done.
On Wednesday of this week, we host a medical / dental mobile team who will work in clinics Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Between the US team that is coming and our Guatemalan team we will have clinics in 3 communities both Thursday and Friday and then in 2 communities on Saturday. So yesterday after seeing patients in Lemoa we started to prepare for the week and will continue to do some these next couple of days as we only have one clinic a day for the next couple of days.
Please pray for safe travels for this team and that God will be glorified in the work we will be doing.
Also, this weekend is the final elections for Guatemala so please pray for a peaceful transition and for a leader that will uphold his promises and will hold to the christian virtues they profess to have.
God bless!
