Almost Done! Friday is celebration day!

Lisa has 3 days left in her 6 months rotation at the Hospital Roosevelt. She has been in internal medicine for the last 2 months and she has one more call which is the last day of her rotations so that is a bummer as she has to work all night. However, that will be the end. She went to meet with the director yesterday and it appears she does not have to do a research paper as the other students will have to do, so we pray that is the case.

She found out today that she actually got the highest grade in the this 2 month rotation which made her feel good. she has been working very hard at her responsibilities.

On Sunday, I began to move things back to Chichi. We forget how nice it is there. It truly feels like home and we look forward to being able to go back together and continue to work with the teams in the area. We have many ideas and we pray that God will continue to lead us. We have made many friends in the area and we look forward to spending more time with them and jointly growing in our personal relationships and our relationship with God. The drive continues to get worse in some places and better in others, but once you are there it is very relaxing. The road is pretty stressful and tiresome, or maybe I am just getting older!

We are extremely grateful for all of the prayers that have been offered on our behalf and also humbled at the assistance we have received to help with the extra costs we have had of covering expenses in 2 locations. Thank you and we know the Lord will bless you greatly for your generosity.

Please pray for the economy here in Guatemala. The affects of increased gas prices, low economy in the US and many other factors including crime, politics, price increases are starting to be recognized in the daily lives of the people in Guatemala. It is very difficult to know where the answers are so we can only rely on the power of God to help transform this country.

We promise to blog more once we are back in Chichi - Home sweet Home!

For those of you who know Aura, Marcos' dental assistant, she passed her entrance exams to dental school! Congrats Aura!

God is good!
