Pharmacist in Training

After being here for three weeks, a medical team led by Dr. Cox arrived. Two days were spent in the clinic next to the orphanage and then two days out in villages doing mobile clinics. I didn’t work any days in the nearby clinic, but I did help out in the pharmacy with Eddie, Vicki, Veronica, Warren, and McKenzie when the team went out to the villages. It was fun to hang out with someone close to my age (McKenzie) for a change.
On May 20th we went out to a place where a medical team had never gone. Over the course of eight-ish hours we saw close to 150 people! The gratitude was evident when John (not Jon) told the remaining people who hadn’t been seen that no one else could be seen, and the people applauded! Chew on that.
My favorite day was probably May 21st (wonder what that means?), because I could do more after having a warm-up day (the 20th)…and it was my birthday. My favorite “case” was probably the kid who had a cockroach in his ear. How do you get a cockroach stuck in your ear?!?

To My Prayer Group!

This is a thanks to my prayer group for being such good friends. It is very encouraging to have so many people praying for me and supporting me. This week I would be grateful if you could prayer for safe flights, peace about unfinished plans, but also please thank the Lord for all he has done for my family.

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25

Shingai Primary School

On February 27, 2015 I went to Shingai Primary School (in uniform) for sports day. Four different primary schools (including Shingai) gathered together at the best track, to compete in track, relay, and the high jump (slightly different than ours). It only included grades 5-7 so I missed one of the village kids in 4 th grade do the high jump. L Since then I have gone two full days (leave at 6am, home at 5pm) and two half days (Fridays go 6-2ish) I have enjoyed my classmates, but sometimes the day seems to run on since English is their second language and my second nature so… The first term (from January to end of March) ends on the last day of March. In my class there are 45 students (including me) and one teacher! Every morning we pull out our morning work notebooks and do our morning work out of the English book. Normally after I’m long done, the teacher will finally come in to class. The subjects change depending on the day except for English which is every day and used in ev...
