Sunday

Today is Sunday and we have sun today!!! We have visiting with us a brother from the church in Montellano who wanted to visit our area and attend the big conference in Mactzul VI tomorrow. So we are enjoying showing him around and took our usual walk to town and around market this morning. It's a beautiful day, sunny and about 70 degrees. He makes us laugh, because he looks like a gringo and has a gringo name (his dad was English), but only speaks spanish. In market, everyone thinks he's a tourist. After making it back home, Tony made us some of his famous shrimp ceviche and we headed back to town for worship services. On the walk back home we stopped to buy ice cream pops at a local home-owned place and chatted with the owner Arnulfo Afre. He told us about his ice cream business (he sells about 150 a day of 7 different flavors) and his 18 parakeets he has. Then he gifted us another flavor---guayaba. It was a great afternoon!

Yesterday was clinic in Chutzerob I. It was Kemmel's first time there, and possibly the first time we didn't get the truck stuck in the mud. (Because it didn't rain--or possibly Kemmel's finese with the 4-wheel drive). We had a busy day and saw lots of new patients, plenty of which were of traditional Mayan religion. Lots of anxiety issues and widowed/abandoned women. But we worked with some brothers in that church who are so good to give counsel and consolation and prayer, and seem to really enjoy the work of the clinic.

Tomorrow we enjoy fellowshiping with about 1500 people at the conference in Mactzul--should be great!
