Hi everyone! Sorry it´s been so long but this is the first chance I´ve had to get on the internet since my last post. I have been living in Honduras for one month now. Time is flying by. Everything is going really well, though. The first week or so was a little overwhelming trying to learn how everything works but I´m feeling much more at home now. Right now, we have a really large team from Tennessee visiting and they come every year. I´ve been assigned to work in the dental clinic with their dental team. Things are pretty hectic all day because our goal is to see all 500 children in the two weeks that they´re here. We´ve already seen 240 in the last 5 days! I´m definitely learning as I go since I have no dental experience but it´s been pretty interesting.
I´m also still working with the little girls and they are just such precious girls. They can be pretty challenging at times (there are 70 of them in the house I work at) but it´s moments like one I had this afternoon that reminds me why I´m here. There is one little girl that follows me around everywhere but she hardly ever talks. I rarely hear anything from her but I know she´s missing if she´s not hanging on my arms or legs. Today, she came up to me and said, ´Kelsey, Te quiero mucho´ which means I love you a lot. So incredible to hear anything, let alone that from her.
I don´t have much time but I wanted to give a quick update to let you all know that I´m doing well. I´m learning daily more and more of my own weaknesses but also seeing the promise that His strength is made perfect in our weakness prove to be true. The Lord is showing me so much of His love for me and for these kids here. I hope He is showing you this as well. I miss you all and can´t wait until I get to tell you more specific stories in the future. Lots of love!
