We are back home in Chichicastenango!!!!! It feels so good to be back. After our week at Clinica Ezell, we took off for a little vacation time in Roatan, Honduras. If you don't know where that is, it's an island off the carribean coast of Honduras surrounded by the second largest barrier reef in the world. Now we are not scuba divers, but there was some great snorkeling and the beach was just beautiful! We saw squids, a sting ray, a sea turtle, some barracudas and lots of beautifully colored fish and coral. It was so nice to get to spend some time together again and just relax. But, we are definitely ready to get back to work now. (UNDERWATER CAMERA PICTURES TO COME SOON......)
Today we spent the day cleaning house and getting our stuff moved back in. It is fascinating how many bugs move in, live and die in our house over 6 months. Our floor looked like we had set off a bug bomb. Anyway, we are back to a liveable state now and can start off our work day tomorrow all organized.
Tomorrow we head to Clinica Caris for our pap smear clinic. We are trying to drum up more interest in preventive care and offering special clinic days just for pap smears. This should streamline things a little and help the ladies feel more comfortable seeing other women there for the same reason. It will be so good to get to work with the team again.
I (Lisa) am working on getting my license processed. The good news, is I passed the final exam (with a whopping 60%) so I know I will pass the year! Now I just have to wait for the administrative office to get my transcript of grades from the various departments and then they can write my reference letter to get my diploma. Yesterday, they said sometime this week they should get the grades in..........we'll see.
Well, before we go, just want to say Happy Birthday to our sister-in-law Kelli and our nephew Lance who celebrated their big day this month. We celebrated for you on the beach! We miss you and wish you a blessed year to come.
