Last Day of Clinic!
Today was our last day of clinic and it has been such a joy to serve the community of Membrillal this week alongside our Guatemalan friends. Including our medical team, we had 65 people working together to serve this community throughout the week. It was such a beautiful display of the body of Christ working together for the glory of God. In total we were able to care for
Clinic Day 4
From Sherri: Here we are nearing the end of our clinic days already! Today was our last full day with these wonderful people, and it was a long, full day ending with a cool, damp fog. Even though the days have been long, the time has passed by so quickly. How exciting it has been to play a small part in the work accomplished this week. My whole reason for pursuing nursing later in
A Day of Rest
From Randy: I have been coming to Guatemala on this medical mission trip the past 6 or 7 years. At first I must admit it was scary – not having any lab or imaging devices to help with making diagnoses, but I now feel in my comfort zone here. Diagnoses are based on history and physical exams and as we put it in medicine we sometimes feel we “wing it.” But through the grace
Clinic Day 3
From Laurie: We hit the ground running on a COLD day today! It even rained a bit this morning. Nothing can dampen this group’s spirits. We met for devotions in the game court and Dan restrained himself from hitting the netting above our heads which was coated with water droplets. I congratulated him on his restraint. I am really enjoying the new medical records system. It is nice to be able to communicate more
Clinic Day 2
From Sharon: I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. Psalms 9: 1-2 What a wonderful God we serve! We have so much to praise Him for as we see His plan unfold for our work here in Guatemala. The thing that was
Clinic Day 1
From Samantha: Today was the first day of the clinic and my first time here in Guatemala serving as a nurse. I came here back in 2016 on a service trip and got to help build the school where we run the clinic out of. It was so awesome to see the finished project that took many years, missionaries, and people to help build, and to now see it in a different capacity, being

Our Last Day in Guatemala!
We saw 95 patients today! What an amazing trip we've had. Here's a great summary of our trip, from Amy: "TEAM!!! This blog will sound like a broken record to what I have written before, but I cannot say enough about how amazing this team has been and how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with each of them. From day one each member of the team has stepped up to the challenges that have presented
Clinic Day 5
From Dana: “Today was a wonderful day at clinic! We saw 105 patients. It was a long day though, so I can’t ask anyone to write the blog and then expect them to speak to me tomorrow! So, here is my update. A girl came to the clinic who was dehydrated and because of her symptoms, we had to treat her outside. She received IV fluids, ibuprofen, and was looking and feeling better in
A Day of Rest
We enjoyed a day of rest worshiping with our brothers and sisters at Iglesia Galilea and then visiting Hobbitenango near Antigua! From Vicki: “I’ve come here so many times and the reason I do is because I love the Guatemalan people. This group is smaller, but it seems more connected. I’m really enjoying being with these teammates. With the pandemic and not being able to come, even with all the precautions we’ve had to

From Shawnda: Coming here is such a blessing and joy. I love having the opportunity to come and serve. I’ve missed this so much and am so glad that we are finally here. I’m working with the most extraordinary people. The flexibility and
