To Encourage Christian Nurses
Honduras, October, 1988-Tuesday We just finished our first clinic day together as a whole group. The rest of the team arrived in the cattle truck around 5 pm yesterday after standing for eight hours and bumping along the rough roads. They looked exhausted. I thank the Lord that I rode in the little pickup truck… Continue reading Medical Mission Trip to Honduras – Part 2

January 1987 - Midwest USA Since I returned from my nursing tour of China in June, things have been busy.

1986 - Hong Kong We had a pleasant stay in hot steamy Hong Kong, and experienced reverse culture shock compared to China. Hong Kong is fast-paced with a British flavor.
