Anne and I joined the Medical Brigade for our third visit to Honduras, and we had a great time. We traveled to most of the same towns that we have visited in the past, two of them being quite a trip up into the mountains where they rarely receive medical treatment. It was nice to see some of the small improvements in the schools and villages that they have made since last year, and it was fun to see the members of our team again for another long, hard couple of weeks. I am so thankful to all of those who helped us, including our cooks and our interpreters. I'm learning more Spanish each year, so I hope to be able to run a triage station independently someday! We had great weather again this year and our clinic ran the most smoothly that I have ever seen. It seems that we get better at what we do each year, and I know we are able to better serve the people each year. I thank God for being with us these 12 days, for keeping us safe as we traveled, for blessing us with patience as we worked through these stressful clinic days. I'll post some pictures soon of the many beautiful Honduran children!
