On our way back from Poptun Sunday we
were able to stop and see some waterfalls called los Conchos de
Chahal and they were amazing! I love the beautiful little breaks we get - and
the inspiring view right out the window of our house.
There was a group of Americans here
this week doing service work that we got to work with. It was very
hectic, but amazing seeing all that was accomplished. We were able
to work quite a bit with the Physical Therapist and Rosie gained some
much needed tools from her – she should be crawling soon. We
are still hoping and praying that her eye surgery goes through the
end of this month when they are supposed to be putting in lens
implants.
A very funny conversation happened in the market,
the Sister we were working with from the US was looking for a toy to take back to her one
year old, I asked one of our K'eqchi' sisters where she should look,
she understood me to be saying the sister was looking for a baby –
and told me her cousin had one! Nothing like giving away your
relatives!
This was a week so busy
it is hard to even cut it down to report size! Walking through the
market one afternoon Elder Spradlin saw one of our brothers with a
cut finger and brought my attention to it. I called to him and took
him over to the side and started pulling out my med kit- then we
realized how bad it really was and convinced him to go to the medical
clinic! Was NOT a minor cut, but his finger split open from a chair
falling and mashing it! We went to take our little neighbor to the
dental /vision clinic the Americans were doing- flouride treatments
and handing out glasses, Planning on helping but we were running late
and when we got there and walked in they had only one Flouride
Treatment left -and were able to use it on her. While there for the
clinic the Branch Pres. Asked me about an undernourished little girl
in his branch, so we were able to help get her in contact with the
leader of the group who also sponsors a program here for malnourished
children here in Senahu.
We hit our 19 month mark today, means
we head stateside in only 4 months. Time goes so fast sometimes!
