Guatemala 2007

Last week I had the privledge of traveling to Guatemala to
provide medical care in underserved areas. Here are a few of
my favorite pics.













The Dentist Dr. Herfel and Jen Several team members










A Cuban doctor I met Two kids I gave shots








She fell and broke her arm. We fixed it. Kids love to color.












I put a IV into this little girl after multiple trys. I man was
carried for five miles for care. There was nothing we could do.




































My Significance



"When you are eighty or ninety, sitting on the porch rocking, and looking back on your life, how will you feel about it? How will you feel about it? What have you done with the gift of life? Your life will be determined by the Relationships you form, The Decisions you make, and the Actions you take. Life does not consist of the years lived, but of its usefulness. Your focus must beyond yourself. If you are giving, encouraging, and adding value to others, you are living a useful life. That is significance. " John Maxwell

Over the last few months I have thought quite a bit about what it means to make a difference. It is so easy to become bogged down with the everyday issues we all face and I am shocked how quickly the time is passing. I am frequently reminded of Luke 12:48 "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much be required"

This blog will endeavor to provide a window into some of my thoughts and actions, and will hopefully provide some enjoyment and reflections upon this great gift of life that God has given me. Please feel free to leave posts or email me at jeffenglund@yahoo.com.
