Kids

Had some interesting interactions as a mission this week with children.  

Valerie was telling me about this girl that fractured her leg, and Doctor Carlos (in the background) was telling her later how the public hospital did not choose to put her under when they did what they had to do to put everything back in place before putting on the cast. 

I am trying to be delicate, but lets just say...it wasn't fun, especially without putting her under or anything.  Plus, they will have to check it in a bit to make sure what they did stayed in place, lest they have to remove the cast and do it again.  ​

Getting a haircut is sometimes a rare thing when you don't have a lot of income to even eat.  

I have seen adults who otherwise would have had a hair cut many weeks ago still walking around because...priorities.  

Marbin knows how to cut boy's hair, so several of them in the Milk Project get the benefit.  

Unfortunately...he can't cut girl's hair.

We were in Las Botijas yesterday, and gave a ride to a mom and her daughter back to the Milk Project.  I had her name...but we were moving, and I was distracted.  Mom is going today to a women's conference with the church actually.

Daughter is 10, and is in first grade.  She missed classes though that day, but at least they are having classes now.  I didn't inquire, but I have heard many kids late starting school since there really wasn't school since 2020.

I could write a few paragraphs on all this, but instead, just going to pray for the kids of Honduras today, and how we can, and are trying to help in His name.
