10 Weeks

Blessings, it has been a while since our last entry! We have been very busy, with teams non-stop for the last 10 weeks! Now that Kathy and I have some time off, we are going to spend it at the DMV tomorrow, renewing our licenses (very romantic). So much has happened, since the last update, so where do I start? Alianna is now 14 1/2 months old, and she is getting bigger everyday.
She prefers to walk, instead of carried, she likes Taco Bell fries ( thanks Ken) , and now makes it a point to steal some on my Coca Light, whenever she can. Kathy and I are doing great, we are definitely growing in our marriage, parenthood, and ministry. We have had the opportunity to meet amazing people the last couple of weeks, and have been truly blessed in the last 10 weeks.

We have had the opportunity to carry out eleven medical clinics so far this year!!! It is amazing how God provides even in the midst of an economical crisis, the Lord truly provides for those who continue to trust him in there giving, to there local church, ministries, and missionaries like us. God has truly challenged Kathy and I this year, with limited funding to expand our medical clinics to more remote parts of the country. Just recently Costa Rica suffered an earthquake in the province of Alajuela, flooding on the Caribbean coast, and severe drought in the northern pacific.

So much work and so little help, but we have blessed with volunteers from right here in Costa Rica. We have been blessed with the help of Dr. Gabriel Munoz, Dr. Randy Rojas, Dr. Alejandra Quesada, Dr. Dionisio Flores, Dr. Juan Carlos Molina, and Dr. Juan Madrigal. It is amazing to see how non-believers are truly influenced by good testimony, these doctors are ready and willing to help whenever we need them. We are praying that by our testimony, professionalism, and compassion these doctors can one day come to know the Lord.

Frank Vega, my pastor back home, always told me that many non-believers behave more Christ-like than Christians. I can truly say that I see that in these doctors, there are full of humility, compassion, and sincerity, truly a lesson to take to heart. Katherine has advanced in her knowledge of Pharmacology, she has already took charge running the pharmacy with Promundo's Festival con Dios twice. We are very grateful with Dr. Lydia, for taking the time to train Katherine every chance she gets. I have also advance in my training in medicine, I have been interning at a family clinic under the supervision of Dr. Juan, he has given me an open door to come during the week from 2-6pm. I have also been able to attend patients during our clinics, Dr's Gabe and Randy have allowed me to be there Physician assistant during clinics.

Kathy and I are praying that after my return from the states in May-June, I can finalize the process of finishing Medical school here in Costa Rica. The Lord has shown me that he wants me to serve him in other areas, besides leading worship. We are excited to see what God does this year, we are planning our next clinics, in Nicaragua, Chira Island, and the arid plains of Costa Rica, please keep these clinics in prayer. We would also like to ask for prayer as we have begun the Visa process for Katherine, we are planning to visit the states later this year as a family. We would also like you to join us in prayer for my upcoming trip to the states, May- June, I need to bring back documents needed for immigration, and present our ministry to raise support, please keep this trip in prayer as we are still raising funds for expenses.

I will be posting more pictures soon, keep praying, and thanks for the support.

God Bless,

The Huitz's
