3 weeks and still haven’t posted this blog! One of the reasons is because our
schedule has changed a few times since we have been here. Regardless, I
absolutely love it here and know that when we leave in 9 days it is going to be
incredibly hard.
Hospitals of Hope and several organizations in the community of Cochabamba from
orphanages to hospitals to schools. Here is what a typical day for me looks
like here in Bolivia:
6:00am – Wake up, get ready, have time with
Jesus
7:00am – Some days I workout in the
mornings (typically running around the hospital compound) other days I eat
breakfast and have to leave at 7:30am
7:30am – 9:00am – Leave the house to get on
the first truffee (typical mode of transportation here)
8:00am – 12:00pm – Ministry
Wednesday – Girls Home (an orphanage) where we play cards or other games with
the girls and help them with homework
– Thursday and
Saturday – Hospital – We go to the hospital in the city where we visit with the
kids. I typically spend most of my time with the kids who have been
malnourished
the Deaf – Here we go to class with the kids and learn more sign language
12:00pm – 2:30pm – Typically we eat lunch
and get on another truffee to head to our next ministry site
2:30pm – 4:30pm – Ministry
Wednesday – Burn Unit – We visit with the kids in the burn unit and pray with
them and sometimes their families
for the Deaf – In the afternoons we play with the kids. They have a playground
with swings and the fastest slide in the world! The other day we had a rope and
one of the older kids made a rope swing out of it.
– Friday – School for
the Deaf (We spend all day here on Friday)
– Saturday – At
4:30pm there is a kid washing where we work with another ministry to bathe kids
and give them clean clothes. Between the hospital and that we spend time a the
café (where I am currently writing this blog.) J
5:00pm – Most days this is the workout time
6:30pm – Dinner – We usually eat together
at the house
7:30pm – Free time – Sometimes internet,
sometimes reading, sometimes movie
10:00pm – We are typically in bed by this
time
Tuesdays are our off days and on Sunday we
hold a church service with some other teams from the squad at our house. It is
nice to have a church service in English!
I am falling in love with many of the kids
here and will be posting a blog about one of the little girls named Carla soon!
Many Blessings,
Kim
