Today I went on outreach to Agdao where we did prenatal exams and health teaching in a church there. I went with Nancy, Leanne (my aunt), and Ate Jhobee. It was so fun! Now I am on swing shift (pulling a double shift today).
I am wrapping things up here and actually feeling bitter sweet about it. The transition here was hard. I was required to jump into life here as the other students had been here for 6 months already. I have gotten used to cold showers, hot days, lots of noise, lots of bodily fluids, and really made some great friends. I am so thankful for spending time with my family here and getting to be apart of their daily life and ministry. My uncle has been in Indonesia for the past 2 weeks and has 2 more left. My aunt, cousin and I have enjoyed a lot of girl time baking, sewing, playing piano together, and just enjoying each other's company. I am thankful for my time here and I look forward to what God will teach me even after I leave.
I CAN'T WAIT to see Daniel. It has been 3 long months, we're both getting really sick of skype. I look forward to being home and spending time with my family and have a little normalcy in life again.
I am thankful for the experience to see beyond the 4 walls of my little world in the US. My heart has softened here. I see a lot of pain, but I also see a lot of joy. It is so clear that that joy comes from the Lord. I get goose bumps seeing God work here. In certain cases during birth we will be praying out loud, anyone in the room will be praying for wisdom, strength, help, anything.
