Rain, the Madness That is Nairobi, and Other Exciting Things!

HEY friends!

This is just a super quick update... but I have a couple exciting things to share!

First - for those of you who prayed for rain, it DUMPED last night! So, yay GOD! He definitely heard your prayers :) It poured for several hours, for the first time in over three weeks! A coincidence? I don't think so!!! Your prayers ARE powerful and effective!

Secondly - yesterday I was able to go with a friend, a Kenyan national who is a nurse at a Nairobi clinic, to Nairobi and hang around a clinic! It was a wonderful experience... I spent time with the nursing staff, the clinical officer (basically the equivalent of a physician's assistant), the laboratory staff, the pharmacy, and the VCT center (Voluntary Counseling and Testing - for HIV). It was way cool - I got to see the various roles of the health care professionals, experience an African health care setting, and work with patients a little (my favorite!). It was wonderful to be back in the health care setting... I didn't realize how much I missed it! (And now I'm getting pumped for school!) Not to mention the adventure of actually getting to the clinic and home... Nairobi is SO busy - I would have been completely lost if I hadn't been with Edna! There were people everywhere - total craziness, but I enjoyed getting to experience Nairobi!!

This next week I'll be enjoying my time with the MH kids... there's a slight chance that I'll be able to go to Webuye to hang out with the MH fam there - I'm hoping it works out!

Thank you for your prayers! Continue to pray for rain... and as you are lead!

Love you, friends! Thanks for being so faithful to support and encourage me!
