Week one.

I’ve already been living in Africa for one week!! This week has totally been a roller-coaster of emotions as well as filled with heaps of new experiences. The babies are absolutely amazing I still can’t believe that I get the opportunity to be apart of their lives even if it is for a short time. Today I was working with the clinic babies which are babies that have come to Watoto malnourished or with other diseases. This proved to be a challenge because many times although the child is hungry it won’t eat because of the pain so many are fed through a tube which is hard to see but is a necessity. At the babies home you get thrown right into the duties as well as the care of the babies, I have done pretty much everything including taking babies to get vaccinations. I’m loving what I am doing. That said it is defiantly not easy to live here culture shock is very difficult but with the strength of God I will make it though and have already made it past the first week which has been said to be the most difficult to overcome. I feel settled into my house with the four other ladies that share it with and am looking forward to what God has in sort for me. I miss you all so much and love you even more.

Talk to you again soon.
