Well I have officially been given the Gambian name Binta by one of the staff members at the hotel. I asked him what it meant and apparently here it has no meaning, it is just a popular woman name. This same staff member seems to have a crush on me, it is quite funny. Sometimes the girls will joke and ask me how I like being engaged ha.
Anyways we have now been at Serekunda Hospital for 2 days now. We have mostly just been observing but it has been really interesting seeing how they operate in their facility. Today was more exciting than yesterday though-lots of babies being born!!! That was very exciting. They were all so cute! There was even a delivery of surprise twins, woah dang! :)
Other than that things have been really good- I am so enjoying my time here! Today we met with the American Ambassador at the American Embassy and that was interesting and informative for sure. I felt important! Lol
This weekend on Saturdau we are taking an up river day trip and visiting a rural village which should be good and then will be back to Banjul in the evening. I will most likely post again Sunday so i can fill all of you in on that adventure! I love you all and miss you lots! The Lord has been putting ou all on my heart to be praying for and it is such an honor and pleasure to be praying for all you wonderful peeps in my life! I am so incredible thankful!
LOVE <3
