Bon weekend

The weekend begins after the rehab meeting finishes around 5 on Friday. The students were ready for the weekend break after finishing their second exam on Friday so we watched the 'Babies' DVD Friday afternoon - we even scrounged up some comes and trail mix to make it feel like the movies which they really enjoyed! The rehab meeting brings together the techs in the hospital clinic with the techs in the mountain dispensaries to recap the week and plan for the next. It was good to hear their plans and incorporate using the students to observe patients. My French I think is improving daily. :)


Weekends here are a great time to rest, meditate and prepare for the week to come. Saturday we went on a mountain hike to the waterfalls in Verettes, the next town over. We came back through the Saturday market which was pretty well closing up for the day. Maybe we'll go earlier next weekend. We had some of our colleagues over for dinner here at the house last night.


This morning we hiked the deschappelles mountain early, coming down in time to get dressed for church. We went with the physio from the hospital to his church for a beautiful service with lots of singing and enthusiastic prayers. We understood what we could and the other ladies were very helpful where they could be. The hope and humility of the spirit here is really amazing! This afternoon is quite hot so we'll lay low - read and write and prepare for week to come. Loads of love, L
