Together Again

We kicked off the new work year with clinic in Mactzul V today. It is the first time in a while that Kemmel and I have gotten to work together. Since we started back on a Tuesday-Saturday schedule for one of the teams, I was able to go out a help a little. It was good to see the brothers and sisters there and spend the morning ministering to the community. We had mostly new patients, including one 81 year old lady with lung disease and anemia. We saw her and prescribed some treatments and talked to her about her spiritual health. She came with her daughter-in-law who says she has always rejected the gospel and has no interest in it. But, we talked with her anyway, explaining the oportunity we have through Christ to live again after we die to this life. She thanked us for our help and prayers and said she would think about it. We prayed for God to touch her heart, giving her a desire to know more. Pray for her and for the brothers in Mactzul to be a ready witness if she changes her mind.

Right now we are relaxing a little in the house. Having our afternoon coffee (you read right, Al--we drink afternoon coffee now!) Our coworker, Sheri gets in from the States tomorrow and we will meet up with her.

Be in prayer for me (Lisa) these next few weeks as I finish up my rural rotation and projects and final exams. I will also find out what hospital I will be working in soon--we would really like to be in Santa Cruz del Quiche--30minutes away.

Thanks for checking in with us. Hasta luego.
