My husband, Sam, and I have amazing jobs! Sam and I met in college and connected right away because of our mutual heart for medicine.
Sam was about five years ahead of me in school, but it actually worked out perfect because we ended up graduating the same year.
After graduating college, my husband had to complete his training to get his medical license. Once he was finished, Sam decided he wanted to travel the globe using his skills to help those who might otherwise never be treated. We have “lived” in over nine different countries now, and it has been more amazing than I could have ever dreamed my life would be. We have helped thousands of people across the world, and I can’t thank God enough for this amazing opportunity. It’s not easy work, and we often don’t have the nice facilities to work in as we would in the States. One of the things I miss the most is air conditioning. Most of the countries we have worked in thus far have had either tropical temperatures or just down right hot temperatures! Most of the buildings we have worked in haven’t had air conditioning, but the building we are in now actual does! We are beyond thankful for the couple air conditioners that we have and so are our patients. Many of our patients don’t have electricity or running water in their homes let alone air conditioning, so it’s always neat to see their reactions to the hospital having AC. In the end, Sam and I love what we do and the people that we get to serve, but it is always nice to have little first world blessings here and there like an air conditioned hospital.
