Open Eyes: Mission Honduras - Day 3.1
Today brought us to a point in the trip that some feared. We visited the local hospital. It was built in 1934 and it appeared that nothing had been done to it since. The women were in one section of the hospital, the men in another, and the children in yet another. But unlike what we think of when we think of a hospital, all of these groups were in common rooms together with absolutely no privacy. The care was merely a number of people that administered medicine at the proper time, but otherwise there was nothing.
There will be no pictures of this other than the ones that reside in each of our minds and maybe of the outside of the building. We felt it would be intrusive and unjust to take pictures of peoples suffering. We should all praise God for all that we have and not take simple things like antibiotics for granted. The next time you feel like complaining when someone is trying to place an IV in your hand rmember to be thankful to have it and also to be thankful for the one who administers it.
I will post pictures later of what I have. Remeber to pray for us, especially tomorrow, because even though we have had a difficult day today, tomorrow we will be in a prison. We pray that God will give us the strength to endure.
