Last medical brigade

A couple of weeks ago we had our last medical brigade of the season, and incidentally, my time here with Mission UpReach. That makes me sad, but I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to work here and learn from/with our group of team members. 

We went to Monte de la Virgen with a group from Athens, GA. Their group was a great choice for our last medical brigade of the season. We saw 730 patients, which is a pretty impressive percentage considering we gave out 750 tickets! It was great to be in that village for more than one day and see people that I've worked with before since we go out there with VCOM. 

Now I'm cleaning up from the brigades and I have a LOT of work to do! Plenty of things to organize, meanwhile still having other groups. I'm enjoying my last couple of weeks during our "busy season"!

The line outside of the school.

Diana doing her thing and passing out meds to patients.

Rosa and Milagro working at registration. They're always such great help!

Selfies with Stacy.

Donna, myself, and interns Danielle and Sydni.

It's a miracle that two of us have on the same color!

A couple of weeks ago we were out at Contamal with the University church from Denver. Same place they went last year with mostly the same fun group! We saw 930 patients in 3 days, but it was actually a relatively tranquil week! Auburn CoC's youth group was also here doing construction, so it was fun to have them! 

We had a business meeting during lunch at the brigade. Very productive.

Lovely Amber working hard in the pharmacy.

We matched!

Auburn friends. 

She was the cutest little lady in her new shades from the brigade!

This is our "week off" in between 2 months of groups.. Which means I had a whole week to regroup and prepare for the next 2 medical brigades, and it has been glorious. I've been sleeping almost until 8! Now I'm all rested and ready for 2 more medical brigades in a row.

These pictures don't have much relevance for this week. Just a selection of random pictures that didn't get used before. 

Our yearly helpers from Colorado arrived this week! 

It's always nice to have Connie, Andrea, and Amber here. 

Just being adorable and letting Laura hug me.

The line for one of the brigades. There's a chance this already made a foto Friday.. Can't remember.

Good thing intern Danielle is here during the World Cup to explain soccer things.

Just a random cute child from the brigade in Crucitas.

Hanging out with Karol and Jere's Merlyn Laura while intern Danielle looks on jealously.

Sorry, Danielle:)
