However, that being said, it has been an amazing week with them here. We worked in the clinic on Monday; but on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we split the group in half and alternated days working in the clinic and driving to a small surrounding aldea where we set up a medical brigade in the local school building and served the very needy population for three days. Many of the patients would otherwise be unable to access health care, and it was a tremendous opportunity to serve. The Hondurans are beautiful people, and it was a pleasure to serve them in this way.While the trip has been both eye-opening and rewarding, it has not been free of "flaws." Much like La Ceiba, and Copan before it, we have already had our share of no running water, and we are scheduled to be without electricity most of tomorrow. However, we can take each day as it comes, and it always works out in the end!
The next three weeks will be very different without the other students and Dr. Lapey here to talk with, and to bounce questions off of. However, we are excited about the challenge of serving these people as best we may. It has truly been a God send, however, to have them here this first week to get us acclimated to the project. Praise God for his faithfulness and perfect provision! Our time spent in Copan and La Ceiba learning the language has also really paid off thus far. Thank you again for your support and prayers. We will write more later as things continue to progress.
