Our rainy season has finally begun, and with it comes clearer skies, cooler days and our summer interns for Medical Evangelism Training. We have a great group this year as always, and they have already braved a week in Xela at language school. Then we got to spend Friday through Monday in missiology classes graciously hosted by the Paxot II Iglesia de Cristo. Our classes consist of medical evangelism theory, language and culture acquisition training, bio- and ethnomedicine orientation and easing into life in a developing country. They did great, and were excited to move from sleeping on the church floor to their own bedroom with their host families last night. We also enjoyed having Alex Gonzalez, our Clinica Ezell director join us on Friday through Saturday afternoon to get to know the students. Now for some hands-on learning in clinics this month.
