Friday 30th 4:30pm

Everything seems to be running smooth. The surgery team did 4 cases today. Some of the people that were scheduled for surgery did not show up so the surgery team ended their day early. There were some lizards running around the OR today. Craig picked the lizard up and took it outside. The head nurse at the hospital was scared of the lizard and turned around when Craig walked by her. Can you imagine what would happen if a lizard got in the OR here in the States? Yikes!

Speaking of lizards….Victoria and Sarah found a lizard in their shower. They couldn’t find where it went after seeing it and were afraid it was in their room somewhere. Craig told them it probably went down the crack where it got in or went in someone else’s room already. That would not be very comforting to me.

Well the soccer game ended in a tie, 1 to 1. Not saying anything about girls not being very good at soccer but Michelle and Mari were given 5 chances to make a goal and they missed every time.

Things went well at the outreach today. Camilla gave her testimony and it tied in nicely with the bible story. More work was done on the wells but don’t know for sure what all was done. When everyone got back to the hospital today they all went in to see the triplets. It was like having a celebrity there because triplets have never been born at the hospital before.

Beth has been teaching Anna, the head nurse at the hospital, about physical therapy. After they were done today they went and visited Anna’s house and she showed Beth around and took her out to show her the garden. She asked Beth if she had a garden and Beth said no. Anna wanted to know how Beth got her food if she didn’t have a garden. Beth told her at the store. A lot of people there have a garden so Anna just couldn’t believe Beth didn’t have garden.

Michelle was playing with a baby outside the hospital today. The mom handed Michelle the baby and went inside and just left Michelle and the baby there. And guess what happened….the baby wet on Michelle’s shirt. They don’t have pampers over there. Poor Michelle.

The surgery team will join the rest of the team doing outreach tomorrow. Hopefully the patients scheduled for surgery next week will show up.

That’s about it for today. Hope you are doing well and hope the blog is helpful to you all.

Until tomorrow………………..
