Recent Happenings

With all that’s been going on lately and all the traveling we’ve been doing, I just plain forget to post, much apologies.  So without going into too much detail, here’s a glimpse of some of what we’ve been up to lately.

Medical Clinic at the Landfill

The landfill here in La Ceiba is basically a big hill right outside of town.  The trucks come here every day and drop off their trash, and then the bulldozers move it around.  Around the edges, some of the poorest inhabitants of La Ceiba have built themselves a fairly workable community.  Our team visited this community twice last month to offer day-long medical clinics.

A kind family opened up their home to us, with their cleared out living room serving as intake, and an emptied out bedroom doubling as an exam room and the pharmacy.  I tagged along one of the days to serve as the “pharmacist” (really a glorified pill counter).  Our nurse, Erin, saw lots of really sick patents, and I gave out tons of worm medications.  It was a long day, with lots of big families who all needed medicine, but a joy to serve.

Health Classes in Armenia Bonito

Lindsey’s most recent health class featured a large-scale skit.  In the skit were two contrasting chef’s, cracking jokes and teaching good health habits and meal planning.  Lindsey has been putting lots of work into these classes, and for the first time was able to teach without Ellie.  Because of how the time worked out, I was able to stay home with both the girls so Lins could be freed up to focus on the class.

This has been such a great ministry for Lindsey to get involved in.  She can work on prepping for the classes at night, and it really taps into her degree.
