I know it's been awhile since I've last updated my blog. A lot happens and yet it has become normal life here. Eat, sleep, work, laundry and some socialization with lots of hello's and goodbye's. Constant change has become a normal part of life...I'd be lying if I said it was easy.
Although, there are fun times involved with all the change. One day, we had a picnic with nurses and day crew from D-Ward, for those who wanted to attend. We packed up a bunch of stuff and drove the beach.
After getting the fire lit with some assistance from the local people (apparently we weren't so great at starting an open fire on the windy beach) , we got the chicken over the coals and the BBQ began.
It took several hours to cook all the meat that was prepared and so the cooks took turns...these were the first 2 happy volunteers while the rest of us visited, and watched the sunset.
Finally, after the sun set and it was dark out we finished cooking the last of the meat! It was a whole process, but it was fun.
It's hard to believe that January has come and gone...and now we are half way through February. Time seems to be passing by...soon I'll only have 3 months left, March, April, and May. Then, I'll eventually need to figure out what is next in my life...and that seems overwhelming! There are so many possibilities, that I need to slow down, not stress about the future and trust God to show me his direction.
