some down time

the medical group that was here left saturday morning, so since then, there really hasn't been much to do. me and sam are the only americans al Hospital Bausita de Gauimaca.
Sunday we went to church here on the campus.
Monday we went and helped Mabel in the pharmacy. She is our age so it wasn't hard getting to know her. there wasn't much for us to do. i counted, bagged, and labeled pills. 60 per bag, and let me tell you, it's hard to count that many pills at one time.
Tuesday was a chill day.
Today we went to a school and handed out parasite meds. these kids were a little on the wild side (to say the least).
a group of 3 is coming in tomorrow and more groups will be coming down soon so things will start to pick up around here.
"la caceta" is a little store/eatery place (which is located on the property) and i found out today that they sell diet pepsi for L 12 (L 20 is about $1 in U.S)! i am super excited about this.

i haven't done any work in the hospital yet besides the pharmacy, but hopefully i will soon.

i'm sittin in the prayer tower now which is like a tower/porch thing above the living area. from here you can see most of Gauimaca and the surrounding mountains. i dont think pictures could capture the beauty seen up here.

although i am the only person sleeping in the girl's dorm, i am not alone. everynight i get to cuddle and spoon with numerous bugs and lizards. it's comforting to know that they are there with me to scare the monsters away.

i wich i could post some pictures on here, but internet connection is not so great and it takes a few decades to load 1 picture. maybe soon i will be able to put some on here so all you guys can see how much fun i am having down here :)

to everyone who wrote me letters and cards: i enjoy them and looked foward to reading a new one every morning with my bilingual Bible and cup of joe :)
