The hot days and freezing nights
Wearing full scrubs all, day everyday
Speaking to the Bolivians
Trufi rides
Quiet time with God
Bolivian children
The look on a man’s face when the Xray shows that he doesn’t
have lung cancer like he had thought but merely a broken rib
Family dinners
Learning about medicine
The way the Quechuan women dress
Paying in Bolivianos
Llama socks and sweaters
The never ending hospitality of the Bolivians
Wally
Living on Bolivian time (which happens to be very similar to
Anna time)
God’s grace
How everything in the guesthouse is just slightly broken but
not broken enough to replace
The buzzing of instruments in the Emergency Room
The hectic, craziness of the Bolivian streets
Only showering twice a week
Speaking Castilliano
Freedom to explore and live life on your own time
Washing my face in ice cold water each morning and night
because hot water heaters don’t exist in Bolivia
Weekends off
Three hour church services
Learning to live in another culture
Fellowship
Bonfires and worship songs
How willing to teach the Bolivian doctors are
God’s little surprises
Country music and dishes
Running in the countryside
The other volunteers
Learning to be selfless (even though I have a long ways to
go)
The spotty Internet because it forces me to be present to the
people here
Trying Bolivian foods (including llama)
The babies at the orphanages
