We
are Jim & Dianne Thompson from Asheville, NC, serving as
long term volunteers here in Guatemala. We arrived February 5,
2003. Currently, we run a medical clinic in an area of Guatemala
called "Boca Costa de Solola". We also host medical
teams that we recruit to the area. We have six children, all
grown, and three grandkids. Our home church is Trinity United
Methodist, where we have been members since about 1991.
Hi, this is Dianne. I am enjoying my life here in Guatemala though it is very different and very challenging. Back home I was an RN, here I am practicing Third World medicine as a nurse. I worked with a Guatemalan doctor for four months before I ventured out on my own. There have been some wonderful and joyous moments, also some strange and sad. I have many memories and many stories and I hope to have many more. In the past few years I have been to Guatemala on two building teams but my faith journey since I came as a medical missionary has been so much more than I ever expected. The only negative is that I miss my kids and grandkids. Hope you have a chance to visit us.
Hi, Jim here. Back in the US, I was a carpenter/real estate
investor. Here in Guatemala I have learned to run the pharmacy
in our clinic, manage the clinic, order medicines and such, I am
also the designated driver. Being the designated driver in
Guatemala comes with many stories. In the mid 90's I started
going on building teams and have been to many different
countries in Central America and the Caribbean but Guatemala has
touched my soul. I would love to share our little corner of
Guatemala with you. I'm sure it will change your life as it has
mine. Talk to you later, Jim.
Through Christ we serve,
Jim
and Dianne.
