Wow, after weeks of anticipation, planning, translating, preparing
and packing the day is finally here!
Chiapas Medical Mission 2015, here I come, ready or not.
My fellow interpreter on this mission, Katherine Allen, had
to talk me down of my self-imposed last minute melt down. My back pack is too stuffed, I’ll never close it again (You have to
understand, I am not a light packer in the best of times, and I am not a camper
so putting everything I will need for 10 days, including sleeping bag and mat, into
a carry on back pack is not something I do!
I’ll never learn all the terminology in time for the simultaneous lectures
to the local doctors. Even though I’ve been madly translating all the lectures
all week, there are still a lot of new WORDS to learn, big ones! I’m too
old for this! What am I getting myself
into?!
Okay, deep breaths. Enough of that silliness! Everything is going to be OK. My adventure
begins. Back to Mexico, the land of my
childhood, which I have not set foot in for about 40 years. I wonder if the
jacarandas will still be in bloom?
So if you don’t hear too much from me, dear readers, it’s because
we may have sporadic or unreliable internet access in San Andrés Larráinzar
where we will be, up in the mountains of Chiapas. Stay tuned and blessings on your adventures,
whatever they may be!
