Laughter Helps the Medicine to go Down!

I can't tell you how much fun this last week has been. I had a moment last Wednesday where I was really missing family and thinking how am I going to make it a whole year. It is amazing when you cry out to Jesus for help how he brings it to you. Some times it is in ways you never expected. Mine was through two sisters from Colorado who were visiting and through several laughing moments. Let me explain.

The one sister is a midwife and in her 30s and the other is about to start nursing school and in her early 20s. The older sister had come to the Philippines years ago to complete her midwifery courses. She was here 1.5years with no family. She said it was really hard, but God provided people in her life that really were there for her. She was able to understand what I was feeling which really allowed me to show what how I was feeling. The other sister is so close to my age that it has been like having a cousin around. I love it. She has pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed for heart to heart conversations. These sisters have been a blessing in my life. Thank you , Jesus!

Now for the laughter moments. LOL!! I am laughing as I write things : ) Well the other night several of us nurses where sitting in the nurses rooms talking about a delivers when all of a sudden a black thing scurried across the bed. Eeeekk!! We all scream and jumped up. It looked like a mouse. We stood there for a minute listening. Then we heard the little feet scurrying behind the bed. We quickly ran out of the room and called the men on duty (the guard and driver) to come save us. They quickly ran up the stairs to the room. They went through the room look for the mouse. They were soo courageous. They were on their hands and knees. I would not have been able to do that. After 5ish minutes, they got it.
