Puerto Barrios Remote Site -

June 6, 2012- On the road for another 'remote site clinic' in Puerto Barrios that is about 6 hours away from Guatemala city.   Amatique Bay Resort and Marina a beautiful resort located on the Atlantic Ocean.   

Elder Johnson & the Wilcox's walking to our rooms.   Beautiful grounds and surroundings.  In the evenings you could see fire flies that sparkled in the grass.  Never seen a fire fly before our stay in Puerto Barrios - an amazing sight.   Hot and humid area, we thought we would melt.
Light house look out over the Atlantic Ocean.   Off to the right is a white sandy beach for guests at the resort.   Beautiful grounds, enjoyable pool/water park area for guests.   This is where Elder Johnson slipped on the platform due to last night's rain fall and injured his leg.  


Sunday evening Elder Johnson and the local missionaries helping to setup the clinic for Monday morning.   On Monday we saw about 14 future missionaries and completed their work plus missionaries.
David Call - son of Elder & Sister Call.   He was our technical expert for the trip.
Elder & Sister Wilcox plus one of the local missionaries.
Sister Johnson put the missionaries right to work.   Many hands made our work lighter.
These two Sisters helped us for the three days sterilizing all our instruments.  
During our three day stay, we saw 97 patients.  The first day was designated for futures.  Second and third day were set aside for members.   The second day we started at 8:00 a.m. and ended around 6:00 p.m. - long day.  
At the end of the second day, there was thunder/lighting and heavy rain fall causing the power to go out.   We finished our last patient in the dark.  
Thanks to the members below our remote site clinic was a success and well organized.  The needs of the members were completely different than our remote site in Senahu.   The members needs in the hills were far greater than members from the city.  Two extremely different clinics
The gentleman on the left is District President Morales along with one of  his counselors.   The counselor helped us everyday with crowd control, interpreter, provided lunch for us each day and all other requests.
