Ecuador.
Now that my wonderful trainer has left me here alone and
with a cell phone that NEVER stops ringing life has picked up quite a bit. Hermana
Williams went back home Monday morning so last weekend we visited some of her
converts which was neat. I can definitely feel the added weight and stress but
am adjusting well. Most of the medications have different brand names so I have
been constantly researching medications. I have several different packets that
Area Medical Doctors have made with different medications for different
problems to cut down on the number of clinic visits. These have been a great
resource for me. Now I want to go to nurse practitioner school when I get back
because I am LOVING it but at the same time stressed out of my mind!
My Spanish is far from fluent but this week I have been able
to speak so much better and understand a lot more. This was my biggest fear
that I would not be able to understand sick people that only speak Spanish but
the Lord has strengthened me so much and I am able to understand most of what
is being said. How great is his power and I know there is no way I could handle
this calling without his strength. This week has been such a testimony builder
for me that I am understanding phone calls that before I could not. I am so
blessed. I am actually in a trio right now with the other two Hermanas that are
my roommates. Hermana Blas and Hermana Aramayo that only speak Spanish so this
will help me learn the language better as well. President Dennis told me he is
searching for a new companion for me so maybe by Tuesday I will have a
companion.
This week I had a phone conference for Aetna training, the
churches new insurance, which will be effective December 1st. We now
have to contact Aetna first and give them the information and what clinic or
doctor we want to use to get approval then we can send the missionary. Also it
is only with doctors and clinics that have signed contracts with Aetna which as
of today we only have 2 clinics in Guayaquil because they are still in the
process of adding more doctors.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Con Amor,
Hermana Lyman
