Day Five- Gratitude
Hi, my name Is Addison and I have enjoyed this trip very much, I am learning so much! I am here for my second time. I do not really remember much from my first time but this time everything seems to be more organized, and we are located on the most beautiful property. There is a soccer field and playground that I can play on with the kids, it
Last Clinic Day!
From Arleen: By now we have figured out many things: How to get on the bus on time in the morning, how many medicine cups we have, that the last two days are really hard, triage flow, to count vitamins by five, that patients show up at 0100am to see us, we have ultrasound, we have good futbol players, people come with all kinds of problems and that the Guatemalan people are so gracious,
Community Clinic Day!
Wow, what a busy day! We saw close to 150 people at the first community clinic day! There was a long line when the bus arrived and we heard that the first person got there at 1 AM to get in line for clinic. It is humbling to think that this clinic plays such an important role in the health of this community. The clinic is working so well together, like a well-oiled machine!
Church and Sunday Clinic
From Rachelle: Hi friends! Today is Sunday, we had a lovely church service this morning that was translated for us so we could understand. This afternoon we had a small clinic day where we specifically took care of the pastors of the church and their families, as well as our translators and others that have helped us this week. Since you can’t see me crying through the screen, I’m going to share a story.
Iximche and Antigua Day!
“W” Family Blog From Randy: Hola amigos y amigas! Another beautiful trip to Guatemala! This is my 4th medical mission trip and once again find the people of Guatemala so beautiful, loving and kind.

Clinic Day Two!
From Juanita: Second full day in clinic has been completed. It ended with a great game of soccer with several team members and volunteers from the community. For someone who does not like soccer, it was entertaining and a stress reliever for the end of the day. This is my first trip to Guatemala and doing a medical mission’s trip and to say the least I am being blessed. I was nervous prior to

Day One is Done!
Hello dear friends and family, This is Addy. We made it to Guatemala safe and sound. Our first day at the clinic was very fun. I was able to help kids that were scared and nervous about seeing the dentist. I held their hands and distracted them while they were getting their teeth done. I talked to the kids and parents about taking care of their teeth, so they don’t get cavities. I also
The team has landed!

Festival in San Lucas
As I look back on the time we have had here in Guatemala, we have been blessed to serve beside some true servants of God here in Guatemala, from the Pastors to the guard who opens the gate when we come and go. It has also been a joy to meet, fellowship with and work beside the Iglesia Galilea youth in San Lucas. As our mission trip is coming to a close and I
Merari’s Miracles
The way Christianity is practiced in the United States, at least in my experience, we tend not to talk too much or with too much conviction about miracles. And when someone tells us about one, we tend to listen with holy skepticism. That’s not the way it is here. Fifteen years ago, on an operating table in Phoenix, Arizona, Merari Rodriguez died.
