Highlights of the Past Week

On Wednesday afternoon, I found a shop that sells Dr. Pepper and Mt. Dew, so I indulged in these sodas for the first time in 7 months. Fortunately, I needn't worry about blowing the budget or getting cavities from drinking too much of them since it takes an hour to get to the store, make the purchases and then get back home. That's a long bike ride in the busy city for a can of soda. Anyway, I thought that would be the highlight of my week.

But then I went to work on Friday. The morning started out slowly, but suddenly there was talk of surgery and I was invited to join. Not long after that, I was wearing scrubs, a hairnet and a mask while standing next to the operating table. It was disgusting. And really awesome. And when it was over, I went back to the office where there was pizza and brownies. By the time I got home, I was on cloud 9. Sadly, nobody at my home really wanted to hear me gush about surgery.

Greta, that is so cool! What an awesome opportunity! We look forward to your return...I know your mom is really ready to have you home. The farm is different without you here. Nadia is getting big and Hope is going to need to relearn who you are! She saw your mission card and said your name so that is good! Hope things continue to go well!
