| No smile could be achieved from this precious child. |
 |
| He loved his hat & bear... |
 |
| This handsome young boy was way too big for his crib but he loved the attention from us. |
 |
 |
| Very apprenhensive about accepting a gift from this strange lady... |
 |
| Cutest little girl but so swollen |
 |
| All the children and their mothers were so appreciative of our visit. Our visit was well worth the effort when a child smiled and said "gracias". |
 |
| This young has been hospitalized since early December. Notice the pink monkey tied to the bed. Sister Jensen & her husband took monkeys to the hospital before Christmas. Their children sent the monkeys to Guate for their parents to distribute to the children. This young girl has a long road to recovery. |

Room for the mother's whose child is in the ICU unit. This is the gathering place as well as sleeping quarters at night. The benches transform into beds. Sister Call giving the gift to the mothers. A young mother was standing outside the door quietly crying. Due to the lack of communication, I embraced her to let her know of my love and concern. I was surprised at her response of holding on to me for a short period of time. Sister Jensen noticed her too, visited with her in Spanish, and asked her if she could offer a pray for her child. Sister Jensen, Sister Call, myself and the mother held hands while the prayer was offered. The mother was so grateful for our love and concern.

| I noticed this young mother crying & kneeling in prayer pleading with the Father to hear her prayer when we first came to the unit. There was not an opportuntiy to console her or to embrace her to let her know we cared. She did not move from this position the entire time we were on the floor. You just wonder how sick her child must be to be in such agony. |
