This past Sunday marked our mock clinic and last team meeting, which in turn means the stomach butterflies have officially begun! When we signed up for this trip, it seemed like forever before we'd leave, and now it's only 3 days away! With meetings starting months ago and a practice clinic under our belts, I think we're the most prepared that we can be.
Now the fun begins:
-Serving the beautiful people of Leon, Nicaragua
-Bringing free health care to those who truly need it
-Growing as a team, making new friends, and creating bonds that will last a lifetime
-Meeting our Nicaraguan team members who have been preparing for our arrival
-Experiencing a totally different culture
-Being stretched daily
-Releasing control of our usual schedules to go exactly where the Lord leads, when He leads.
-Eating pinto gallo til we can turn into beans and rice ourselves
-Leaving our cell phones, laptops, facebooks, and TVs behind (or at least turned off)
Is it Saturday yet??!!
Y'all please know we are thinking of you and praying for you every day you are there. You are the hands and feet of God, so go hug some kids and bring them healing!
