Overnight Day 1

Hi loyal followers!

This is Daryl's adventurous team reporting from Canilla. Today we embarked on a 5 hour journey to begin our overnight stay at Las Maripositas ("little butterflies"), a rural outpatient clinic, where we will be working until Friday. We saw three patients in the community, two of which were seen in their home. We also visited Mayan ruins this evening, located close to Las Maripositas. Tomorrow will be a busy day, as each group will see five clients and we will also be leading a training session for the staff at Las Maripositas. We are thoroughly enjoying our experience thus far and excited for what is yet to come!

FYI we will not be hiking a volcano on Saturday. Although we planned to hike a different volcano than the one that erupted, our plans have changed and we will be exploring the city of Antigua.

Thanks for reading and look for a post from Missionaries of the Highway tomorrow!

Buenas noches,

Emily, Lauren E., Paige, Marie, Elizabeth, Melissa, Erin, Carol, and Todd

  1. Tuesday it was stated on the blog the State Department said to avoid travel to Antigua and now you are going. Is that correct?

  2. In case some did not get to talk to their daughter last night, the blog was not updated yesterday as they did not have a good internet connection. Hopefully we will get update again tonight as they should be back at a hotel.
