Today was such a blessing. I've been bummed that I will be missing the entire fall season of Ohio and Indiana, but today was cool enough to need sweatshirts or jackets! It was the first day of rainy season, which was very unexpected, because it is not supposed to start until the second week of November. I loved sitting on our porch watching and listening to the rain all morning as we did our homework and talked with the two little girls from the closest village, who come and color with us. We've been on the go a lot this week going to clinics and hospitals, so it was great to relax.
On Thursday, we went to a village called Siachitema and worked at their clinic. A doctor from Zimba Hospital met us there and we took vitals for about 200 patients before she saw them and were each able to do an antenatal exam for the pregnant women. Tomorrow is church and more homework, then Monday and Tuesday I will be at Zimba Hospital.
Oh, and we have not had the pleasure of eating our turkey friend yet. Mrs. Phiri, the woman who runs the guest house, said it was a good enough one to save for our big meal on Zambia's Indpendence Day on October 24th.

How do they save the turkey? do they have freezers? Not to make you sad, but it has been cold here and the wind is blowing and it makes it feel like winter is coming. the trees have not all turned yet. Keep the pictures coming they are nice. Liz
ReplyDeleteDo you have a freezer for the Turkey? It is starting to look like fall. I will try to send pictures thru Tim. I like your pictures- you look really good with children!!! Liz
