Leaving Nicaragua and all that I love here is going to be very difficult. But, I plan to make the very best of this last week. Nurse Martha worked with Dr. Karla and I all week and I transitioned her into the position. It was great to see her jump right in. She already has ideas of topics she wants to teach, how she wants to organize our stuff, and ways to grow the ministry. We did nutritional evaluations on the first graders at 2 of the schools. For the nutritional evaluation, we measure heights and weights of the child, calculate Body Mass Index or find where the child falls on the growth chart. We also did some home visits, hospital visits, and started the consults with Dr. Karla for some patients. She is a great fit and I am at ease knowing that Dr. Karla will have a companion and a partner in this project.
Love,
Ayla Landry
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." ~Jack London
