A week in the life of a Helene missionary...

You might be wondering what a typical week looks like here in Helene. Now that I've lived one, here's the basic just:

Monday - Clinic 9-noon; School 1pm-5pm; Clinic 2-4pm

Tuesday - AM Home health visits to Seco, The Pond, & Mangrove bay (Esley, Ms. Nella, Lowell); PM to The Bight & Bentley Bay

Wednesday - Clinic 9-noon; School 1pm-5pm; Clinic 2-4pm

Thursday - Morning Team Helene mtg.; Northside home visits & ladies Bible study

Friday - Clinic 9-noon; teacher prep day; Clinic 2-4pm; Grocery shopping day (woo)

Saturday - People coming, people going (to/from Helene); Chillaxin' - snorkeling, hiking, laziness or whatever else you please

Sunday - Church and rest (I have yet to experience church on the island)

Every day starts out with devotions at 7:30am, shared by the designated team member. Breakfast is @ 8am, Lunch @ noon, and Dinner @ 6pm. The food is pretty typical American, however, sometimes the ladies (Linda and/or Sherry) make Balliatas, which are traditional tortillas that you can put the typical burrito stuffin's on. Nights are filled with games (favorites here are cribbage, spades and Apples to Apples) or maybe a movie (so far I've seen some pretty good ones).
