DROPS FILL BUCKETS Miraculous adventure into another world, filled with pain yet so
full of gratitude. I believe the one thing that carries these people,
is love! No matter how poor, the love from inside, shows on the outside,
along with their faith in their religion. What an adventure you have had. I can't honestly fathom standing over a gallbalder operation but
I guess with the gentle doctors and hopeful, lovely people, anything is
possible. Your hope and dediction to these people brings the world alive, step by step. Love Liz
Drops Fill Buckets Dear Liz and Ron
Doesnt it make you want to get into medicine, and save all the sick and needy people. You make it sound like the Doctor has the whole world in his hand, and some time I think they have. Love your discription with words so appropriate of whats happening.
Love Betty
Profound Dear Liz,
I am constantly in awe of your phenomenal experiences and the way you express them. By following your heart, you continue to be nourished.
The 'slice of life' that you encountered in Guatemala will forever be etched on your memory. I can only begin to imagine how you and Ron felt after these life altering experiences. How wonderfully satisfying. May your meaningful adventures continue. GREAT PHOTOS! Love, Miri
Appreciation Liz-- again, you've assembled so many bits of wonder and humanity in your writing about this country, and with eloquence and authenticity.
Thank you,
Aaron
Wow! Someday when I'm really a grown-up with a functioning mind I'm going to try to write as well as you. In the whole megillah I wrote I realized I neglected to mention the rapport between staff and natives. But you picked up my slack, for which I thank you. Keep up the good work. L, J
" Do something every day that scares you.", it says on the Lululemon bag along with other advise. Well, you've done that. Not that you sound in the least bit scared. I can imagine, and I do mean imagine, from the immediate security of my own environment, that you've had what is called a worthwhile experience, while helping other people,and I'm pleased to have read about it.

brought tears to my eyes So many thoughts. At 1st I thought the blog was of a religious nature. Then I thought about the humiliation that this child must have suffered over the years. then I thought of the pain and loss that women experience with breast cancer. It all came together beautifully, knowing that the medical team gave this boy his healthy life back. Great story.
Moving with love What an incredible experience you are having, amongst simple, loving and caring
people - no complaining, just appreciating "Project Hands". How descriptive the
blog is and I feel deeply moved with each expressive sentence you write.
Thank goodness the world has people like you.

Womenanly Art Liz you did it again,your writing is so expressive I feel like i am right with you . Oh how I wish I had of been. See you soon.
Love Betty
You are a Gift, Liz Morantz!!! Greetings!!
What a fantastic journal of what must indeed be a life changing experience. It must validate so much about who you are as a person, Liz.
You are always ready to care and express tenderness. How wonderful that you are sharing this with those in such obvious need.
Luv, Kev
I can just feel the sun and see the bright coloured clothing and smiles of the people who have just had their lives change much for the best. What a beautiful thing to be able to give comfort and share in this happiness. Carolyn
Incredible comparisons and descriptions
Oh what a journey it has been. Thank you for bringing us this 'slice of life' so vividly and with such meaning.
The warm and welcome way you greeted the post-op patients gave them hope and dignity. The experience will be forever etched on their memories as well as on yours. What a wonderful feeling knowing how much your actions have been appreciated in Guatemala. Project Hands is indeed fortunate to have found such gems in you and Ron.
Love, Miri
I dont care about the lack of interest for our Europe trip. I remember almost every moment of it and I think thats what matters. Not going to lie, we were all a bit concerned that you were going to call us from a Guatemalan prison after being caught bringing drugs into the country in surgical gloves! We then realized that there is probably no reason for us to worry about you bringing drugs INTO Guatemala! Cant wait to read about your trip!
Liz, you have a way with words, that is bringing me right back to Guatemala, and our very memorable time there! Many nurses and doctors who work in surgery, do so, to feel part of a team, which is there to impact, hopefully, and sometimes immediately, the better health of their patients. Sometimes we get caught up in the "mechanics" of our work, and we need to remind ourselves. how foreign and frightening an O.R. can be. Your words describing Jesus are a wonderful reminder of that. Thank you!
