Hola,
Today has been a bit of a drag for me. Do you ever get in a funk where you just don't feel good and happy. That has been me these past two days. Two volunteers that I became close with left yesterday. They had been here since last October, so they were excited to leave. I on the other hand was not excited for them to leave. There are only two volunteers in the house now, me and the new volunteer that is from Denmark. The girls that left taught me so much about the orphanage and what to do, I am going to miss them so much. I think it is also sad because you develop a strong bond with these people that share your same struggles and triumphs while you are serving, and once you leave them it's not likely that you will ever see them again. Also every time someone leaves it makes you want to go and see your family too, but I am excited about my trip to Belize that is coming up in three weeks. I am still giving out medicine, but for the boys now. Sonia is still in the clinic, I think this is her 6th week. This has also been hard because the other volunteer and myself are constantly in the clinic. It is hard sleeping in the clinic every night and being here during the day. I am still teaching school, and we have about 5 weeks left before the end of the quarter. I am also helping in the clinic, I went to the hospital yesterday with a boy because we thought he might have broken his elbow. I don't think that he broke it, but he is wearing a cast. I am very excited to have my mom come and visit me over Thanksgiving. I really miss my family, but then take a second to think of how much these children probably miss their families. Please continue to pray for me, I really appreciate all your prayers. I pray that God would protect us here in Honduras and that he would continue to work in my life and revile the plan that he has for me. Once again thanks for all the support and Love!!!
God Bless,
Lindsey XOXO

Keep your head up and a smile on your face! Tomorrow will be a better day! Think about all the good you are doing by being there and how much the orphanage appreciates you. It is difficult to be away from your family, but you are doing an amazing thing and everyone is so proud of you! Time goes by so quickly and soon enough you will be coming home.
Stay positive and never forget what a wonderful and strong woman you are! I admire all that you do.
Love, Char.
Lindsey,
