Delay

I have a bunch of things to tell you... unfortunately our fiber optic line was cut by the road construction, so it may be awhile before I get to expand on things and give pictures and video.
I also hit the ground running so I haven't gotten a chance to write. When I arrived there were already two nurses here, Gayla and Sharla. We did a clinic at Coco Beach (and all this time you thought I went to Africa - ha got you!) this past Friday and Saturday. We left at 10am on Thursday and got there about 4:30pm... a two hour drive. We stopped several times for bananas (trying to get a good price), and stopped and had lunch at a small village along the way. Will write more on this experience later when I have my pictures.
We came back Sunday after church and have done some touring of the Bible College and clinics/ hospitals on Monday and today. Gayla and Sharla are leaving today, but we have begged them to come back so hopefully I'll see them again! Tim said we would talk about stuff tomorrow... some kind of normal routine... maybe, doesn't sound like this place has much routine. I already am being called Mon Professeur... they've pretty much pegged me as the English teacher. I know what you're thinking... Leanne - teaching English... they must be desperate! Well I think they are, but I'm a little excited about it anyway!

Next Episode

At the end of your favorite television show, you watch to see if they will have a new episode next week.
Well it's Sunday and I'm leaving tomorrow for Africa. I will try to write to this blog by Friday of this week... if nothing else to let you know that I got there!

Why does God love me?

Can I just say that I have AWESOME friends?

One group of friends took me out rolling (toilet papering a house)! At 11:30pm! Hadn't done that in at least a few years! I love being silly and acting like a kid!

Another group of friends invited me on a WinterJam groupie weekend... see http://www.jamtour.com/ ... TobyMac, Hawk Nelson, Brandon Heath... three cities in three nights... had so much fun!

Then the Awana ladies kidnapped me last night and we went to Myrtle Beach for dinner and they gave me an ipod!!!

Do you ever wonder why your friends love you sooo much? I do, but it is really evident that they do! Do you ever wonder the same about God... I mean He has so many people to pick from... why does He stick with me? (Not to say that I'm His only one, but He definitely has a way of making me feel special!)
