We returned from an eye surgical trip at Montellano, were approx 46 patients shad cataracts removed or overgrowths of tissue removed from their eyes. The staff group was a small in number but very efficient and we were able to translate when needed. Neva and I had a chance to go with Dr. Walter to a medical clinic and evaluate some patients.
Next week we return to Montellano for an combo Plastics/Ent/General surgery. One of the nurses, Shery, in ChiChi, her home church is sponsoring a 2 year old for a cleft palate repair. She has as us to assist with the coordination of the visit, paying the bill and transportation. We are really looking forward to the trip, Neva knows a few of the people on the trip. Should be an encouraging trip and a chance to meet more christians from the states.
We are in school for this week and are focusing on reviewing the section so we can test out and move on- please pray for us the God put spanish works in our brain and on our tongues.
Love
Glenn & Neva

From US to Guatemala
Sorry it has been awhile since we have written. In May we went home to visit parents, and church friends. Megan has visited her academic studies and came home a few weeks prior to her internship starting in DC for 2 months then on to San Francisco for 1 year. Jess was working and busy planning wedding details with Brooke. Neva’s parents are doing well per se, Bob needed a partial knee replacement and is doing well post-op. Marje continues to be feisty as usual.
When we returned to Guatemala, Megan came with us for approximately 10 days and we visited many of the ruins in Antigua. Neva and Megan acquired some ameba but, this was corrected with medication.
This past week was very busy as we had Spanish school in the afternoons and in the mornings I went on a local medical mission trip to 2 villages surrounding Antigua. Preston Crest Church, in Dallas Texas has an annual trip to Antigua the first week on July. Dr. Raul, Physician/Evangelist supported by Preston Crest Church ; Neva and I have grown fond on him and his wife. Dr Raul invited me to attend clinic with him when I was not in school. Four people were baptized and countless of contacts were made. Approximately 1,000 were seen and evaluated for medical, surgical and denital problems. It was very encouraging to see the combination of medicine and evangelism. This is the great example Christ used in the Bible.
