Hey everyone. It seems my flash drive/mp3 player has a virus according to this computer so no big long update.

Things have been improving slowly and we’re gaining the confidence of a few people at a time. Poco a poco, as always. Our boss and his assistant (our liason) are coming tomorrow to meet with the doctor and the health center staff. We have been meeting many times with the doctor to discuss what is going on, how to improve our working situation, etc. He just told us today it’s not our fault, which was nice to hear. He told us he’s been here for 5 years and still hasn’t gained as much confidence as he’d like so three months is nothing.

That’s all for now! Have lots to do on the computer so a big post will have to wait until next time.

*Imported from blogspot – for those looking at the code, I apologize for divitis, that’s blogspot’s fault

Hey everyone. Forgot to put the long blog post on my flash drive so a detailed wall of text will have to wait. But here are some pictures in the meantime!

Here is a relatively recent picture of me (for Joanne/mom dad and anyone else curious) on a little mountain on the outskirts of our town. Thanks for the sunglasses!

Cool macro shot sarah took of some (probably poisonous) plants
Cows! Seriously, they are everywhere here.
A cockroach about the size of Sarah’s thumb. See his antennae? They are turned towards her thumb… he actually turned his little head to look at her hand. Pretty neat. We ended up letting the little guy live. (Hey, at least they don’t bite)
One of our friends showing off a cool way to cut pineapple.
Landslide! Knocked out a good portion of someone’s crop and went to go give him suggestions on what to plant to prevent another one. Not surprisingly my suggestion of “trees” was taken almost as a joke… *sigh*
Helicopter landing in a field next to the centro – the Health Minister came to announce the opening of 24-hour service here. Which means that our doctor, the only doctor here, is on call 24-7.
Doctor is third from the left. The health minister is second from left.

More to come soon… on a day when I’m not as absent-minded as always! Love to all.
