National Museum

Hi all!

    Hope everyone had a Very nice Mother's Day.  It is officially the rainy season here and we had a heavy rain storm an hour ago that really dumped on us.  It was nice and makes me feel like the air has just been washed.

   We had two dentists volunteering at the Clinic this week.  Gary Lippencott came for a couple of days, he and his wife have their mission papers in and hope to serve here.  I think it is a pretty sure thing because if he doesn't come down here in mid-July there will only be one dentist left here for about a month and he doesn't speak Spanish.  Dr. Lippencott is an orthodontist and wanted to come for a couple days to brush up on some of his general dentist skills and see how the clinic. He and his wife will fit in perfectly, only wish we could be here to work with them for a while.

     Evan and Melanie Roundy spent the week at the clinic and stayed here in an empty apartment at Victoria Suites.  They were at the Jornada with us and have been involved with the Tio Juan Dental Clinic off and on for several years.  They plan on serving a mission here in a couple years. Evan has been a BIG help in getting funding for the Pano Dad has been trying to get.  So I had to include a picture of us and the Roundy's in front of the dental supply store, 

one of Dad and Evan in front of a cardboard cutout of the Pano 

and then we took the cutout to our clinic and took a picture of it with Dad and me.

   We went to the National Museum on Friday and took a bunch of pictures.  They have a long timeline mural of Guatemala.  I wish I would have had someone to explain it to me, but at the end there is a painting of two young men in white shirts and ties looking suspiciously like Mormon missionaries.  What do you think?  

Also, here are two pictures of things that were found at different historical sites in Guatemala.  There is a lot of history here!

   We have only one more Sunday here, where has the time gone???

Love you all!!   MOM/Grammy
