An Average Day (If there is such a thing)

  

(Click on any picture to enlarge.)

I have never been good at taking notes so I take lots pictures and then at the end of each day I do my best to match them up with what ever I scribbled down during the day.   Last week's journal was easy because Pat not only took the notes but she did the journaling, so all I had to do was the fancy pictures.   

Last Wednesday I headed out to the coast with 3 of my boys with full intentions of returning home the same day, but ended up staying an extra day.  Seems that the doctor at clinic that we stopped off at at the end of our first day had a few people that he wanted us to see.  The following are my notes from Thursday, November 1, 2012.  

Sorry no fancy pictures this week.

This lady who has elephantiasis needs walker, special shoes and a 24 to 28  inch wheelchair.  This lady really got to me because there is really nothing that can be done for her condition.   She has already undergone 4 operations in Guatemala City but the tumor keeps coming back.  We had a wonderful time of prayer with her an her family.

Genesis Milagros, needs a walker, feeding tube food and an operation.  She can not swallow.  She weighed about 20 pounds when she was 2 1/2 years but is doing much better now that she has a feeding tube.

Eve Aidee Recinos who broke her hip now has a wheelchair.  It is doubtful that she will ever walk again.


DSC03877 Marco Tolio Poiras needs a wheelchair he has a crushed vertebra and can only take a few steps using his crutches.

 Thanks to a sponsor Bethel Ministries has been helping this family out with added food each month and although they are still struggling they are now doing much better.

The boys and I came home dirty and tired but it was a good 2 days.   Next time we will try to take a set of clean clothes along though.   Wearing the same clothes for 2 days is not good especially when the temperatures are nearly 100.   I think that I will go and take a shower and then head off to bed.

Goodnight,
Yours in Christ: Dick
