It’s been a long year from 2017 to 2018 trip. A lot has happened with planning over the year for our trip. More events coming our way with the clinics this year. I have made more lists and check lists so far to make sure I don’t forget anything! I have packed and repacked and we have made it to LaCampa once again! I am so happy to be back. Our trip this year is a little different, we are going to Tela this year for a week!! I am so happy to be working with G&J and Pastor Franklin. Today was a busy day packing and sorting meds. We need to get ready for our first clinic of this trip that is tomorrow!
I found out that while I am here in Honduras, my mom fractured her femur and has to have surgery. It is so hard to be here when she has to have surgery. I feel like I need to be there, you know, to make sure that the doctors know what they are doing, the nurses treat her like a VIP and take care of my momma! Well, I can’t be there, but you bet your bucks I called. YES, I did, I went there. I called my connections at the hospital and told them this was my momma and to take EXTRA special care of her. And you know what? They did. I never doubted it.
And by the way, she is doing great! Her Nurses and doctor was the best.
So, this week I am sharing a room with 2 of the other ladies that are nurses with the clinic. One room with 3 beds and one bathroom. Did I say there were 3 of us? (3 women??!) It was like a great slumber party. They were great roomies!
Our shower doesn’t have hot water. It has the heater on it, called the widow maker, but it isn’t working. So cold showers it is. I figured it out and found if I take my shower when we get home while it is still hot outside, the cold water is really refreshing! So that is what I did.
(they call it a widow maker because it is something that is placed over the water shower head that plugs into the wall outlet and has wires coming out of it. You pray that water doesn’t splash on it and pray for no sparks!)
So, time to get real right now. We reviewed the movie we will be showing at our family movie night this week. It was about the question, do you believe? And are you not ashamed to tell others of Christ? It really impacted me. Do I live for Christ and can I say that my Christian living will convict me one day if I am accused? Right now, I would have to say NO, I am ashamed of saying that, but I know I am a sinner and need to work on my faith and trust. God loves me, and he will not give up on me. I am forgiven through Jesus.
“Do you best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2Timothy 2:15
