Day 3 - Our first day working in the hospital

We're finished with our first day of work... and with our first salsa dancing lesson (I'll explain that later). We woke up early again and headed to work at 1 of Guatemala City's 2 public hospitals. The group I was in - Jessica K, Karen, Dean White, and I - were sent to work in the neo-natal unit. When we arrived and they showed us the machines that they wanted us working on, they told us that the reason they were broken was because they didnt have the right sensor cables... something we couldn't fix. So instead of trying to fix it, we ended up cleaning some equipment they had labeled 'super incontaminado' so that they would now be able to use them. I should also include here that Maria Jose's mom made us lunch and it was amazing! After working at the hospital, we came back to the Nazarene Center and played basketball, ate dinner, and had a salsa dancing lesson... yes, a salsa dancing lesson. It definitely wore us out. That combined with a long day has gotten us to bed early again tonight, hoping to be rested for another full day tomorrow.
