So Amazed :)

Welll, its really hard to believe that three weeks sunday, ive been in Africa! Crazynesssss! This past week has been amazing...
One I worked as the Duty Hostess for the first time today, carrying around the pager. Welcomed guests by myself, did a tour by myself, and best thing, got to give my new friend Heidi, her birthday card and cookies!
But my favorite memory of just today, was getting the news that some young boy had not only found my passport, but also my yellow fever card, my debit card, and all my insurance papers, the only thing still missing is the money, which i am not worried about at alll!
Funny fact, i had an appointment to cancel my current passport and apply for a new one, which of course i no longer need to do!
On a sad note, we as a crew are mourning the loss of one of our beloved patients, who has been with us since the beginning of this field service. We had a small, informal gathering today, and many nurses shared memories of her, and her smile. She has gone home to our Lord, and is now free of pain.
Last night, was, beyond amazing. We, as a crew, got the chance to have dinner, and worship together with our day workers. We sang, danced, sang, and then danced some more! It was amazing, no matter how warm it was, or how tired everyone was, it was a blessing to see!
Tomorrow I will agian be going to the orphanage, to play with the lovely kids :) Also on Sunday night, we will be having a candle light dinner for two of my roommates birthdays :)

This past week I also lead my small group bible study for the first time, which was a bit nerve racking, but it went very well :)

Im in the process of extending for 3 more months, so that is a urgent prayer request, with funding, job, and homesickness, mind you im not missing home, i just miss the people, and my puppyy!!!

Love you all!
God Bless~
