Tracy and Dr. Newton go to do a minor surgery today! Everyone enjoyed that! A woman had a mole on her shoulder that was bothering her and causing her pain all of the time. Cutting someone open seemed to be the highlight of the day for the nurses!! Wish I could have seen it!!
We played soccer with the boys a lot today at their school. We had a lot of time between patients so we got to enjoy time with the kids! They were pretty good! As I have everyday, I had another favorite! They are so kind and love hugs!! I can do hugs all day :o)
A girl about the age of 11 or 12 started crying when it was time for us to leave. She asked if we would be back and we told her that we didn't know. She broke our hearts!! Such a sweet little girl that thanked us over and over! Makes everything worth it even when you are exhausted!!!
I wish we could go out into other villages but that was our last!
As I have said before this has been an amazing experience! This was my first time being in a third world country and I hope it isnt my last! I feel like we have made a difference for these people. I wish we had the time and equipment to keep helping. Aside from working with my children at work, this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! I wouldnt trade this experience for anything!

I'm so proud of you and the Er Abroad team. I know your mom is very proud and so happy you chose to go. You will remember this week forever and I hope that it will influence what you do for the rest of your life. Thanks for sharing your experience here for all to see.
Awww, I'm wiping tears from my eyes. You are such a beautiful person, inside & out. I can't wait for you to come home, but I also wish that you could stay. I cannot imagine the things that you have seen both beautiful & heartbreaking.
Love you & stay strong... but mostly, stay safe!
