Well, we all headed off on the epic journey to get our immunizations last Friday. The sun was shining, the mood was bright, the lollipops were hidden away in Amanda's purse, it was going to be great. We got separated into two groups of three and got ushered away to separate rooms in the dark recesses of the travel clinic.
OK, so it wasn't dark and we weren't ushered. We stood in fact for a while before we were politely called and told where to go. Once we were in the room we stared at all the posters and wondered if we would contract Japanese Encephalitis or if we would experience the joys of being a traveler and drinking water or eating food that was foreign. We have quickly become comfortable with some discussion after reading through many pamphlets on the dangers of traveling. We listened as Josh explained his many broken bones.
The doctor was helpful, and probably one of the best needle givers I have ever experienced. We cringed a little, paled a little and moved on to paying for all our protection. Then we were happily surprised once again as Amanda pulled out lollipops from her purse. It takes little to make us happy apparently.
We continued on in our weekends a little sore, constantly finding joy in telling people we had yellow fever. Then it came to be Sunday and we did a little "Fun-raising" through an artisan fair and we were greatly blessed by our church community. Raising a lot of support!
It's been a good week for our team! We continue to move forward in learning how to support each other and how to work the best with one another. We're all feeling more excited as there is only one month and 29 days left!
