monday and tuesday

Monday was pretty much insane. I woke up at 6:50, went down the hospital and led worship for the doctors before they started their day. Lisa did a lesson, but it was in french so i only understood a little bit of it. After that we hung out for a while, did some devos in English and went over to start organizing Appro which is the pharmacy that we have been working in. As soon as i walked in, i saw pastor Jacob (from Libreville, he one of the main pastors who does the mobile clinics and was the pastor of the church we saw the baptisms for) and at the same time we both started screaming because we were so excited to see each other. He immediately hugged me and oh man it was so nice to see a familiar face. It was weird how at home I felt just seeing him because of how much i miss my family in Libreville, not to mislead you though, i am having such a wonderful time in Bongolo. After i saw pastor Jacob, Brittney came in to tell us that there was a birth ready for us to see! So we got into our scrubs and went over to maternity. The women had placenta previa so she needed to have a c-section done, but the surgeon didnt think she was ready to so we waited...and waited...and waited, then finally a women came in and was ready to go. We went to eat lunch and came back to see the birth...oh my goodness. I was fine until they had to stitch her up because she tore giving birth. They stuck a needle some where that needles should never be put and i had to leave the room. But i have to admit, it was such a weird feeling when the baby actually came out. It was so exciting to see something living, breathing and crying come out of a women.
Ty and i agreed to seriously consider adoption ;). One of the doctors thinks that every teenage girl should have to watch a birth...apparently its the best form of birth control. i would have to agree :)
On tuesday we led worship again, and then we went to the dungeon to clean it out. It was SO dirty and i am pretty sure most of that stuff hasn't been touched since the hospital was built. There were GIANT spiders EVERYWHERE. for real they were the size of my hand, and after screaming the life out of my on several occasions, and the Africans laughing at me, I decided to just scream internally, shake it off and get the crap out as fast as i could so we could get out of there. Then we found this creepy light thing that weighed a bagillion kilos and it looked like the Batman signal light. we dragged it out and then finished cleaning for the day. Came home and after that went to dinner with some pretty sweet people :). Ended the day by calling the love of my life until his stupid phone died ;) which now that i am thinking about it, you could have just put the charger in....buuut it was so nice hearing his voice :).
Learning some more sweet stuff about Moses that I will update either tonight or tomorrow morning. Have a good day :)o
