For the past two weeks Bobby has been in Guatemala with his unit doing a medical mission! They had open clinics where people could come for free and receive medical treatments, prescriptions, and other services all free of charge (what other country does that?). It was a huge success--over 6 thousand people were blessed with medical treatments they would never have been able to afford otherwise, and even their vice president came to give his thanks and gratitude to our soldiers. Here are a few of the pictures from Bobby's trip~
Here is one of Guatemala's active volcanoes sending smoke into the sky
Bobby's bedroom paradise (actually not too bad!)
A cashew tree! The red fruit above the nut will turn into a big red apple when the nut is ripe and ready to pick. From what we've learned, it's the most labor-intensive nut to harvest!
A Goliath Beetle 4 inches long the boys found in their barracks
Black Hawks bringing the US diplomat in Guatemala to one of their clinic sites. (Guatemalans don't have Black Hawks so hundreds of people lined up to watch the sight--which, of course, was pretty awesome.)
Bobby and his medical translator Salvador. He liked Bobby's hat and wanted to give it a try so they traded for a few minutes! More pics to come!

Very neat!
Wow, how cool! Sounds like a great trip and very rewarding.
How are you doing at home alone? I'm sure it's a little tiring. :)
Bobby just got back, so I'm GREAT! It was a little lonely while he was gone, but Henry kept me busy and the time seemed to go pretty quickly. We've been apart for longer periods of time before, but never without being able to talk on the phone--which was the one thing that made this trip a little different. I made it through though, and am SO glad to have him back!
Oh good! I'm glad he's back safe and sound and I'm sure you're SO happy to have him home. :) What a great experience for him!
