So joyfully exhausted
We saw 113 patients today, some hard visits reminded us that we can do what we can do, and that medicine has limits. Pray for these cases that God would bring healing spiritually and draw people to Himself. From Shawnda: Today was a lot. A lot of patients, a lot of laughs, a lot of tears, but mostly a lot of love. We saw the most patients today, and
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!!!

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

I’m working with the most extraordinary people. The flexibility and
Clinica Day 2!
Our second clinic day is in the books! It was full of so many amazing experiences and stories to share. One highlight from my clinic day was a sweet young woman that waited ever-so-patiently outside my room while I was running behind schedule. I looked up and caught her gaze, and could just see it on her face that she was in pain. Once we finally called her name, she sat down and I
Day One is in the books!
Our clinic hit the ground running this morning and we saw 96 patients today! Thanks to our amazing providers, nurses, translators, and many helpers. From Annie: We arrived in Guatemala yesterday afternoon which gave our team an opportunity to set-up the clinic prior to seeing patients, which is a first, and provided the benefit to hit the ground running with patients today. Another first was implementing an electronic medical record (EMR) as prior to
On The Ground In Guatemala!
