Christian Youth Mission to Armenia

It’s really too bad that the economy in Armenia is so poor, because aside from that, I really think I would enjoy living here. Like everywhere else, Armenia has its good and bad points… but the good aspects of it have been shining extra brightly for me this past week. The air is clean, the water and food taste great, and there really isn’t too much about this country that is extravagant (extravagance being a bad thing in my opinion if it is overindulged)… the only extravagant places are those that cater to Americans.

Parev Dzez! Anahid here! It’s been a week since we've been in Yerevan, and we have already gotten to experience so much!

My internship is awesome. I owe David and Vram big time for make this opportunity possible for me! I am working at the Soorp Nerses Medz Pzhishgagan Gentron (St. Nerses the Great Medical Center) with the nurses of the 7th floor proctology/cosmetic facial surgery center. The nurses, "kooyr's" as they call themselves, have been showing me the ins and outs of the recovery room, teaching me about protocol and showing me how to do stuff.
