Today was good, we went back to SPS to see a doctor for Hna
Escobar, as she wasn't feeling so good for assorted reasons, and I got some
more meds for my tummy, so that was a fun day to travel and go hospitaling and
travel again...I love public transportation. We seriously cram in sooooo many
people into a bus, and it's amazing how we all fit. I honestly think they would
have us sit on laps if they could fit more people in. Crazy. But, we got there
and back well, and it was fun to see Hnas Robles and Estacuy again. Hna
Estacuy is playing a more major role in the things of the enfermera, as Hna
Robles is finishing her mission this change at the end of October. Hna Escobar
hasn't left Copan since she got here with me back in April, so it was good that
I knew how to talk to the taxis and get us to where we needed to go and
navigate the hospital to the doctor's office and everything...she also saw how
my life was like, and thought it was a little crazy. It's hard to be a normal missionary when you're
the mission nurse. Now that I'm in the "actual" field, I can
definitely see that. But, I'm happy either way, although it was nice to go and
be so hands-off, gives a break from so much responsibility.

We went and saw Dra. Fasquelle, who is awesome, and she kept
asking me if my eyebrows are tattoos or natural, and said that Hna Escobar
should drink water in industrial quantities, which was kinda funny. But she
also recommended gargling with hydrogen peroxide when your tonsils and throat
are inflamed. Tastes super not delicious, but works really, really well. I
recommend it as well.
I'll also let you know that I've switched over to powdered
milk. The milk here goes bad really fast, and just doesn't taste right. Ech. So I'm making a batch of milk in a water
bottle every few days with my milk powder and water and some vanilla extract to
cut the chalky taste of the milk. Actually turns out pretty well, reminds me of
the little cartons of vanilla milk from Costco that we always bought for school
lunches. First time in my life that I remember ever drinking powdered milk.
Interesting stuff.

So that was our day, we had Weekly Planning in the morning,
went and bought some food, partied in SPS, got home too late to go teach, so we
basically didn't leave to give lessons today, which wasn't super fun. But, we
should be good to go tomorrow, so hopefully we just go up from here!
