Friday Night Light

The moon is nearly full and the light it gives is unbelievable. Like a bright lamp up in the sky. I have to put something over the head-end of my mosquito net to keep the light out of my eyes so I can sleep. It is really beautiful.

I saw my first really big snake. I don't want to see another. It was going across the road. Dr. Mike and I were coming back from Werkok. Of course I am looking the other way and Mike stopped. I said "what" and he is just pointing. I was this close to expiring with the big grabber. Another exciting moment in Werkok, brought to you by Dirty Pants.

A group of people stopped by from Samaratin's Purse. It was fun to show them the hospital. They really liked it. I am so glad that I cleaned this morning. Gave a good impression. It is always nice to have visitors and to hear their stories. Last year on my way over here, I sat next to the mother of one of the girls who visited here today. Small world stories abound.

Kids can always find something to play with

We walked to Werkok for a cold pop early evening (see snake reference above). It is amazing how many people I now know. Felt a little bit like home when Dr. Mike said "do you know everyone?" I was crackin' up. It is fun, and hardly different from home - families trying to make ends meet, playing with their kids, loving their family, just trying to give them the best life possible. No, not too different from what any of us want.
