San Andreas is a larger town in Quiche Guatemala. The people there are mostly of hispanic/latino decent. It is in this town that the Fickers hold a clinic every Sunday. They pack up their equipment and head on out at 8am and don't return to the home until in the late afternoon.
We joined them this week in order to minister/teach/play with those who are waiting for their turn in the clinic. The clinic is near the heart of the town, and the market happening only a few blocks away.
Today's clinic saw about 55 people. Outside of the clinic we played with the children, used crayons with them, taught them about Jesus and the children, we made bracelets with them explaining the different colors and their symbolism. Each of these was an experience in itself.
The children there were a little slow to open up, but in the end we were having a great time sharing love with them.
In the afternoon we left the clinic to go to the orphanage. It was neat personally because several of the children remembered me from last year. We spent time playing, holding, talking to, juggling, doing dramas, and coloring. Everyone on the team enjoyed their visit.
Afterwards we headed to a river for a brief break and a meal. Soon we were heading to church. The whole team experienced a hispanic/latino/Guatemalan service. I will let each of them tell you more about what that meant to them.
Thanks again for following us. Tomorrow we head to a small school were will teach once more about God's creation.
