They are not as poverty stricken as we are asked to believe. A mission group I talked to recently performed cataract surgery at their Guatemala clinic. They charged the patient 15 dollars. They said a hysterectomy cost about 350 dollars. Their growing season is year round. Their buildings don't deteriorate from ice and snow. They don't have winter driving hazards. It is rather hot, though. But where is the poverty?
