This week is another brigade week, which for me means that I have more pictures to share with everyone. It is a gynecology brigade (not really my thing), but nevertheless we are learning lots of new things and there are a couple more white folks running around the clinic with us.
Last night we all gathered together for a big dinner as a send off for the Canadian family that is leaving to go back home after living here the last 4 months. We laughed so hard that I think I pulled a few stomach muscles!
Today my friend and fellow nurse, Cynthia, came back to visit me at the clinic.
Sheree has been getting funnier everyday...but nothing was funnier than when she told me today that I would be translating for this doctor...It was a totally frightening thought, but I actually think that it went okay.
This little doll is only one day old. I just thought this picture was precious with the little one resting between Sheree's healing hands.
Left to Right: Rachel (a nursing student that has been following me this week), Me, Megan (the gynecologist that is here training Sheree), and Sheree on the bottom...We went machete shopping after work today and we thought it would be funny to take a picture with our machetes pointed at Sheree...but notice that mine is in it's sheath...Sheree knows me well enough now that I was not allowed to hold an unsheathed weapon above her head. : )

So she wouldn't let you hold a sharp object near her, huh?
How long did it take Sheree to figure out that you are one of the most brilliant klutzes she has ever met?
So am I safe to assume you are going to remain a cardiac nurse and not go into OB/Gyn?
You are so funny...... Your mom's post is pretty funny as well.
Oh Jen, first of all i can't believe you bought one - well i can't believe no one was there to stop you from buying one. Than again, it is pretty cool.
You have some of the best stories, i can't wait to see you and hear more.
Hey Jen,
I'm still in Mexico. I leave tomorrow afternoon. I'm very excited to visit everyone and also so sad I'm gonna miss you. I love your pictures! Looks like you are having such a great time and I'm sad for you that you have to go home...I'm sure your family doesn't feel the same way. Sounds like maybe you'll be back though some day? So glad to hear your spanish is improving. I'm really proud of you! We are still praying for you. We have tried to find another Toby but no luck yet. Maybe when I get back. Turns out they aren't that easy to get around here. I told Elias "Yes they are, we found him on the street without even looking!" But I guess that was a gift from God. We'll see what He has up his sleeve this time. Well talk to you soon. Love you tons!!!
Katie and Elias
Hey there girlie. You made me totally lol. I love the covered weapon and the translating...can't wait to hear all your stories when you are back. Miss your face around here! Praying for you continually.
