Day #14 18/01/2020 Aaaah, Saturday… Waking up this morning we didn’t really have any plans besides getting a run in and I knew I really needed to get a blog post written! Before heading down my big hill to Mitch’s house I spent some time in the word.  I’ve really been struggling with feeling likeContinue reading “Day #14”

Day #11 Today we were back in El Porvenir at the main clinic. I do love adventuring out into the mountain villages, but I also really enjoy being at El Porvenir. There we have a more definite routine, and I know what Elba needs me to do and how to help her– rather than beContinue reading “Day #11”

Day #8 12/01/20 Early this morning we got up to drive to the base for a workout and some breakfast before we went to the chapel service there. The airbase is right outside Comayagua which is only 20 km or so from the hospital, but because of the mountains it is usually at least 10ºContinue reading “Day #8”

Day #7 11/01/20 I cannot believe that I’ve been here for seven days already. It feels like just yesterday I was getting on the plane in Minneapolis. I’m starting to become more comfortable here, not that I was ever so homesick that I was miserable or anything, but the fact that it is 82º FContinue reading “Day #7”

Day #5 09/01/20 I don’t really feel like writing right now. I’m really sleepy, under my fuzzy blanket (from the hospital staff), and I’m quite comfortable. But, I really want to document and remember stuff from this trip since it’s probably one of the more impressive things I will do with my life. Well, IContinue reading “Day 5”

Plantain chips became a quick favorite!Quick selfie in my scrubs feeling cool because CNAs never get to wear stethoscopes. Peep the entire archivado of every patient in the clinic. All patients have a Manila folder. This is the extent on the filing system.

Day #4 08/01/20 Last night there was NO gunfire!!! It was so quiet and I slept like a baby! I am starting to feel more comfortable in this big house all by myself. The door doesn’t really lock, but my bedroom door has a deadbolt on it, and there are armed guards surrounding the hospitalContinue reading “Day #4”

Well, I am officially moved into my very first home ever. I have a 5 bedroom, at least 2 bathroom (I’m too wimpy to check it out in the dark by myself–so I’m not sure exactly), full house. Now, by Honduran standards, it is quite nice. I really didn’t know what to expect since I’mContinue reading “Day #1”

I have WiFi but it’s pretty limited in its capability! I just found out yesterday that FaceTime works for some reason, but I have no access to websites and texts take about 3 minutes to go through. I am not sure if I can get this blog post to go through, but if I can,Continue reading “Quick Update”
