We don't want to forget the support we have received by the folks that met us down here once we arrived. Those connections are critical and appriciated.
Jeff and Kris Thompson are the field reps for Forward Edge in Puerto Cabezas that have been like "our parents" or "house parents" to us, taking care of all the non-medical logistics details once here.
Keveta Andersen is the resident nurse who also lives in Puerto Cabazes who has many of the contacts with the local hospital and other medical professionals here.
Suzie Smith is a flight nurse with the California team that stay behind to be with us this week, her team left last Saturday.
Pastor Earl and his wife Damaris have been kind hosts and provide the facilities where we are staying. There are many other support people as well.
The conditions these support people have chosen to live in, and still serve, are nothing short of amazing. The extreme limited resources the local medical's have to work with are horrific. It's hard to explain (even with photos) the degree of poverty, but we will try as the days go on.
One thing that is excellent here, is the food. Not a place to lose weight. Some of the best food we've ever had, prepared by some of the most loving and caring people you could ever meet.

Great pictures and stories. I have so enjoyed reading all your posts. Today and tomorrow will be a long day for you. Pull out your warm clothes-it's still cold here but the sun has been shining so it has been lovely. Safe travels home-you have lots of prayers being lifted up for you.
