I'm sorry that I have been unable to update my blog in a while. My computer was not fixed with the disks, so I am on a friends computer before she gets up :)
I am not really sure where to begin with what has been going on here.
We have been doing a lot of work in various towns/villages over the last few weeks.
I worked at Zimba mission Hospital for a few days, which was an eye opening experience. It was hard because I saw death all around me. From working in the ART clinic to watching a woman trying to give birth to a stillborn baby, it was extremely upsetting.
Thankfully, God has given me other experiences to outweigh the sadness.
The Thursday after Zimba, we worked at an antenatal clinic. We had the opportunity to do antenatal assessments. God knew that I needed this for one particular reason, I got to hear the fetal heart beat. Going from witnessing a stillbirth, to hearing a fetal heartbeat. Wow - God truly does provide.
Another example, last week we went to the Choma Hospital ART clinic. I met some amazing people who are HIV positive who have been treated/and are still being treated, but they are volunteers at the clinic. They want to help people receive the hope that they have received. What an encouraging site to see, they are in the eyes of a stranger, comletely healthy.
The last few days were spent at the Salvation Army in Chikankata. I was able to interact with some of the nursing students there and compare our programs. It is amazing how friendly the Zambians are. They are so welcoming and willing to share anything with us.
I know that this is very general, but I do not have a lot of time on this computer.
I will attempt to post a little more often, but that is only when I have access to a computer and the time to do it.
Please know that I am absolutely loving it here. I am learning so much and growing not only emotionally, but spiritually. God is so amazing and He ALWAYS provides. What an amazing God we serve!
