I have a new ID!

This morning I headed out to clean closets and file cabinets again. Almost finished. They were surprisingly organized and tidy considering how many people work there.

It wasn't just my boss and me today. One of my co-workers has now come back from vacation. It was great to see her. She is a psychologist. Helping her is going to be one of the many things my boss is asking me to do. I like what she does, and I like her, so I look forward to working more closely with her.

I also have some reading to do regarding the rehabilitation of sex offenders and victims of sexual abuse from a Christian basis. My boss gave me this material because she would like me to accompany her into prisons to work with sex offenders in the future.

I became even more official today at work. I got my photo ID! Because of the necessity for tight security, the doors can only be unlocked with chips from our ID cards. Until today, I had to wait for someone else to come along in order to pass from office to office.

The guy in charge of configuring the ID cards called my boss and asked what type of ID I should have. She told him that I will be with the organization indefinitely, so...  A good one!

Since I was cleaning closets, I hadn't fixed my hair or anything. Luckily, the man who is in charge of IDs is a perfectionist. He photoshopped my picture. I couldn't believe the difference!

Before and After

After work I had my 6 month dental cleaning. It was discounted for the month of January from $30 to $25 so I jumped on that deal. I am so blessed to have a good dentist in Honduras. Good dentists here seem to be few and far between

This evening Laura and I made soup in the Crock Pot her mom gave me. Since Laura was able to walk she has loved to cook. Today was mostly about chopping veggies so her job was to pass me stuff. We made a tomato bean soup with sausage and lots of veggies.

Erika is sick with the same cold bug that Marjory had. She said she is going to the Dr. tomorrow, but I am sure it's just a bug that everyone else has. I encouraged her to tell Lorenzo he can return to the breakfast program if he would like to. The reason he wasn't attending the program has now been resolved. He may still choose to go to the other place because he's always liked it there, but he's such a tiny little guy, Seems like the only thing that's growing on him are his teeth. I would love for him to have lots of options for nutrition.

My boss told me to take tomorrow off, so I am going to spend the day with Ana and her family. Not sure what we'll do yet, but I know it will be fun!

Got to video chat with my Mom tonight. I love being able to see her when we talk!
