Vaya con Dios April 29 Saturday

Our first patient of the day - Elvis.  Great guy and laughed kindly at our broken Spanish.

Group picture with the Christensens from Layton Utah.  You will notice the YW on the left - Lidia - has both a pink (designating which stake they are from ) and a red ( papers submitted or received mission call ) wristband.  She will find out where she will serve later this week.

This is Oscar Castro.   He came back to the clinic after we had completed his treatment and brought us two little gifts  - a Mayan temple and a Mayan statue.  No, we will not be going to jail for taking antiquities out of the country - but we were touched by his kindness and thankfulness.

 

So we were sitting at a table a few days ago during one of the meals and met this woman from Utah who served a mission in North Carolina years ago and remembered going to dinner in 1989 with a family in a little town in Virgina called Lawrenceville. That would be Mark - one of my older brothers - and his wife Cindy.  The Gospel certainly links not only families but friendships worldwide.

Migual would have smiled but his upper lip was muy dormido.

This is Tania Aguilar who is leaving to serve the Lord in Boliva on Tuesday.  We got her all fixed up and ready to go.

A view from out the back of the property of the church building were we are working.

Byron - another one of the security guards.   He looks serious here but he was quite friendly and we made sure he had plenty of water and knew that we were the good guys.

Someone thought it would be clever to cover our chair with biohazard bags.  It is actually a pretty good look and we would keep it except .....  We are looking forward to a tiring but Holy Sabbath tomorrow and an opportunity to meet and associate with more of the wonderful Honduran people.
