Hey y’all again! Ms Peeling Skin here- I got a little sun a few days ago and now I’m peeling like a potato, but oh well, it doesn’t hurt much. 
Everyone on the team survived what a bunch of the veterans called ‘hump day’ (friend people, clean out your minds- it’s not THAT bad. ) Apparently this was the worst day of all of the clinic days. That’s good news- today was hard, so tomorrow must be better, eh? (I think I miss the Minn-eh-SOH-tan accent- I seem to be stretching my vowels more than normal…) I can’t believe that we only have one more day at the clinic, it seems like we’ve been here forever and not very long at the same time… wonder how that works?
I’ve learned way more medical jargon on this trip than I ever wanted to know (Sinusitis, anyone?) but no knowledge is ever wasted. At least I keep telling myself while I’m helping with ear irrigations or whatnot (and when I get back to the states, I never want to watch one of those again. I’ve seen more than enough to last my life time, and someone else’s life too!)
Random news for anyone who cares or knows about my extremely random extended family: I’ve met some of Dons’ family! I have now met Don and Peggy Orth! They’re dental/missionaries here in Guatemala. Very kind people- Peggy let me use her cell phone to call home and surprise my parents. I think they enjoyed that!
Anyways, not much more to say… We’re shutting the clinic down an hour early tomorrow to get everything cleaned up. Then Thursday night we pack, Friday is the culture day, and we fly out Friday night. Or Saturday morning. Whenever.
Looking forward to seeing y’all pretty soon.
