this week has been a mixture of everything, it started off regular though, with spending the first three days in the hospital. monday i got to deliver my sixth baby! a little boy. i was very excited, everything went smooth and the mom was doing amazing afterward.
wednesday afternoon the new staff arrived. a little overwhelming to be honest. it was kinda weird to see these familiar faces here, in Tanzania. it was good, just a little odd. then thursday we had a day off, for us but also for the staff to be able to adjust. it was productive, me and two others went downtown. got some pictures developed, went online for an hour and got subway for lunch! (very exciting!) then we walked to the post office and i got to finally pick up my two packages! very exciting!!! they were full of snacks! amazing! then headed back to the base where again the power was out. its gone out every day this week which has been slightly annoying, but i guess we should be grateful we even have electricity here. and it always comes on at night which is nice cuz then we can still sleep on the floor under the fan!
friday, new years eve, the group all went to the hospital. i stayed back cuz i wasn’t feeling well and slept the majority of the day. then in the evening we had a bonfire and did s’mores, no graham crackers but the ones they got were still pretty good. and the marshmallows are different as well, but it was still good! we played some random games and just hung out around the fire and then slowly people left to go to bed.... lame! so in the end there were six of us that were awake for midnight. we found a computer that had power (as the electricity was out again) and watched a movie and then just before twelve the power came on! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
it was a quiet new years but i still enjoyed it. its weird to think that we’re into a new year. and to think where i was last year this time.... its funny cuz i was somewhat preparing for this, where i am right now.
the remainder of this week has been our old staff transferring jobs and such over to our new staff. including one on ones. so theres been discussions and meetings and such and such. our staff leave on tuesday. i think it will be difficult but with everything in change it eventually becomes normal. so we’ll just wait till we go over this hump!
till next time....
