Sunday at the Nazarene Church

Our Guatemala team of 27 arrived for a 10-day medical-dental volunteer work stint in Raxuhá (Rah-shoe-HA), a small town in central Guatemala, Alta Verapaz. We were warmly welcomed by Pastor Antonio & wife, Rosemary. Sunday churchgoers filed in slowly over time and after all the usual ceremony, a group of children sang & performed for us. Afterwards, we got busy moving church pews & setting up a temporary but functional "clinic". On Monday, the crowds drew near & started a line that didn't quit till our last day, Friday.
