Suprise!!!

This was a great surprise!!!

I had no idea that Nila (my supervisor) and Mikayla (another volunteer) had been planning this! Thank you Nila, Mikayla, and children/Sunday School teachers at Limuru Town Baptist Church! I will always remember this!

In other news, the hospital has been pretty exciting: I got suture for the first time! It was a deep and wide wound on a patient’s calf. The doctor did most of the stitches, but I put in 4:) And I didn’t even pierce myself with the needle (Success!)!

So today I went to the Women’s Centre to sew. I bought an iron and sewing pins for the centre, because sewing without those items has been very difficult…And we’re hoping to get some of the girls to be proficient in sewing.

Anyways, while I was there, there was a bees nest that was right next to the house that someone disturbed. Suddenly, while I was sewing, several ladies ran screaming inside, hiding to the furthest corner of the house while bees buzzed inside. Since the windows in the doors have holes, we quickly tried to patch the doors so that the bees would stay outside. Then, I guess they tried to smoke the bees out by burning anything they could find in the fire place. I started walking to the kitchen and found a girl with a cup of water frantically throwing it on the floor–there were logs on fire right in the middle of the kitchen floor, and she was attempting to put it out…

Anyways…it was an exciting time, and I managed to not get stung!!!
