After thoroughly enjoying Thursday night TV, I slept well and headed to work on Friday morning. When I got to the office, there was an email from Global Ministries in my inbox, and we have finally decided on some dates for me to be able to come to Indianapolis for a psychological evaluation, which will help Felix and I determine the next step in working with and through the PTSD diagnosis.
I will be flying into Indianapolis on the 17th, and have evaluations and meetings until the 19th. I talked with Freddy and Marisela at the CCD, and they both said that I should take the following week off, so I will fortunately be able to spend the week of the 19th through the 28th in Cincinnati! I am very happy to have an unexpected Spring Break this year.
Yesterday throughout the work day, I finalized my plans for the flight home, and didn't have much else to do. So, I took the opportunity to work a little bit on Daniel and Maggie's wedding plans. After watching the Office, where Jim and Pam have a baby, I kindly requested to Daniel and Maggie in an email to them that they perhaps name their first born Alan, just like Jeremy and Julie (kind of) did.
After work, I stopped by Plaza, and to my surprise Alice in Wonderland was playing, so I ate some dinner and then headed over to the theater. I guess I wasn't sure what to expect, but like most Tim Burton movies, it was creative and incredibly odd. It wasn't in 3D, but I could see how that might add to the experience.
Saturday
This morning, I woke up and got ready to meet Luis Felipe. We met up in Plaza and hailed a cab to the office. I'm pretty sure that our driver was literally 12 years old. I'm not even kidding. This child drove us to the office, and when we got out, Luis Felipe joked with me saying that our driver probably had to ask his mother's permission to go out today, and probably had to ask her to go with him to see most movies.
Being the new "guidance counselor," I wasn't really sure what to expect regarding what my job was going to be this morning. Nobody ended up coming to talk to me, and I spent the morning talking with Ana and Heidy, before driving to a local chicken restaurant to pick up lunch for everyone.
The chicken was really good, and after lunch I hailed a cab to head back to my apartment. On the complete opposite spectrum from my morning driver, I'm pretty sure that Father Time drove me back to my apartment. His long white beard hung down from his face and his thick glasses provided him with a second windshield just in case of accidents. He maybe could have played Dumbledore if he were kind instead of gruff.
There was a nap waiting for me when I got back to my apartment, and I just woke up and remembered how I haven't written for a day and a half, so I figured I should probably get on that.

Hey Julia,
ReplyDeleteI work for an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) called the CCD (Christian Comission for Development). I work as a facilitator and translator for mission and medical groups that come to Honduras, I also work at a partner Seminary, I help translate documents at our offices, and I also find and apply for Grants for the CCD. I hope that answers your question, and thanks for reading! Its really neat to have someone here reading my blog, and I'm glad you think my posts are interesting. Have a nice weekend.
Glad you have Indy scheduled. Hope you are able to make some good decisions about "where to next" in your journey.
ReplyDeleteYour Honduras experience has been a strange one in that your expected work didn't quite happen due to the unrest in the country. Is it turning around now?
Have a great Sunday.
Love, Granddad
definitely glad you've gotten your trip back figured out! hope everything in the process works out well.
