Hi! So I know it has been awhile since I’ve updated this blog. Yeah, I’ve been a horrible blogger. Briefly… the last few weeks have been a blur. First, Lauren and I were trying to wrap up this assignment, I then found out I’m staying, we had presentations and a big fat report to write… then we went to Bohol/Panglao for a few days… then Lauren left and I was sad. It felt weird to be alone in the country… and I ran around Manila a few days taking care of odds and ends… then I came back “home” to meet with the districts before a friend from the States came to visit for a week. We then spent a week in Palawan… Amazing! I’ll update these experiences soon… hopefully I will resume my normal routine this week… I’m back home and glad to be in my “room” and surrounded by the friendly faces I’ve come to think of as my “little family” here… and then the nurses/midwives, I look forward to seeing several of them this week… as it should be a busy week as we have lots of kids to vaccinate. I feel recharged from a holiday… and blessed. The places I saw in the past few weeks… I’m blessed. I’m also blessed to have been sent here… so more soon. But now I must “take a rest”… yet another reason I love the Philippines.
