Thankfully there weren’t any spiders crawling all over me last night…or at least that I know of!!

After breakfast, we made the drive to the community on a bumpy and dusty dirt road.  I decided to pull out my notes on depression and schizophrenia so I don’t get too far behind in school. 

At the clinic this morning, I was in “charla” (or chat).  Here we gave the children fluoride, played games such as Simon says and “playa and mar”, and taught them some hygiene tips like how to brush their teeth and how to wash their hands.  It was fun to be in this relaxing environment playing with the children.  It was adorable how protective, loving, and caring the older siblings were towards the younger ones. 

This afternoon, I was in the pharmacy again.  Today I did a lot of dosing for pediatric medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and amoxicillin. 

When we got home from the clinic, we ate dinner and went up to the store and had a few beers.  As we were sitting outside, it started to get windy and we were watching lightening in the distance.  We thought it would blow over, but we were wrong.  It stated pouring so we went up to the rooms and stood under the shelter.  It was actually fun to experience a thunderstorm in Honduras.  The lightening looked pretty sweet over the mountains in the distance!  (Photo credit to Love!  He took amazing pictures all week for us, many of the pictures I include in the blog are from him!)
