Sorry it took so long to get this posted...
Friday(5/30) was our last brigade day with WGO. It was our 2nd day
at the same church we visited on Thursday and lucky for us it rained. Not
really. This meant we had to leave our bus near the highway and carry
everything from the bus to a 4x4 and van for the trek up the hill to the
brigade site. We thought our ride on Thursday up the mountain was
scary, but it was nothing like Friday. The truck and van were so loaded
down with people I thought for sure we would tip over backwards going up
the steep hills or sideways going around the corners.
This
day was basically the same as Thursday, but it was our last brigade so
that was sad. Across all brigade days we treated over 1600 adults in
medical and dental, and over 2000 if you include children! Amazing work
for just one week across two sites!
Lastly, thank you to all of our
friends and family that supported us. For myself, this trip was a huge
leap of faith. I had so many reasons to not go and just as many concerns
about the trip, but God provided and looked out for us while we were
away. If this is something you are considering, just do it! Trust God
and he will provide! I guarantee you won't regret the experience and
will come away with new friends from around the world. You can make a
difference!
WGO was a great partner for us and I highly
recommend them if you are considering a mission trip to Honduras. Check
