Spanish School Begins

We returned from the Eye/Ortho surgery clinic at Montellano on Friday. What a week! It ended with a gentleman who had suffered electrocution about a month ago and required amputation of his L hand fingers. God works in miraculous ways, as this man presented in a mobile medical clinic where the orthopaedic surgeon had gone to spend the day. Within a couple of hours, surgery was in progress, and the necrotic fingers were removed. He was recovering nicely when we left, thanks be to the surgical team and our Lord and Savior!!
Lisa and Kemmel Dunham, and Sheri came from Chichi yesterday to go to church with us. There were about 50+ people in attendance, including two couples who stayed following the surgical clinic to go to language school this week. We met a physician who holds a clinic each Tuesday at the church. He invited us to visit and volunteer. It sounds like a good way to help here and to practice our Spanish, too.
Spanish school starts this afternoon. We will attend from 2p-6p each day. Glenn and I are anxious to be able to communicate and likewise, understand what others are saying. Please keep us in your prayers as we start this important part of our work.
