Hello's and Goodbyes

Today was a sad day… I took Nelly to the airport and bid her farewell for perhaps yet another year! It feels like there have been so many goodbyes said these days…

So yes- I got to have Nelly here for a few weeks!! It was great having her here, being able to show her around the place and introducing her to my class mates and clinic team! It’s so nice that she could see and get a little taste my life here… She was even able to be there for one of my deliveries! I felt bad that things were so crazy and stressful while she was here… She did very well putting up with me through it! She had to listen to me stress about an crazy assignment that I’ve actually still haven’t come close to finishing (please pray that it will get done on time!!), and get through some busy shifts- delivering four babies in a little over a week!!! Thankfully we were still able to spend some time together!! It was special having some quality sister time since Nelly was gone for much of my time at home in July. We spent a few days cleaning a preparing for the new batch of students that arrived on Wednesday the 12th! Yes, ten new girls have been added to the team here! It was pretty excited meeting them for the first time and knowing that we will spend the next year together! They all seem like very special girls, and I’m looking forward to getting to know them better! It’s funny watching them a the same place I was last year!!
So now it’s definitely assignment confinement! I have some major catching up to do…it’s actually kinda scary! This week I have cooking duty—Bring on the Kraft Dinner! No, don’t worry- I think I can find something healthy and quick to make! 
Well, writing this to you all helped cheer me up some… I’m going to miss everyone, but am always encouraged when keeping in touch!!
Please pray for me, because I know it won’t be my own strength that will keep me going… His strength is perfect, when our strength is gone!

“Till next time…:
