Back to the Land of Squatty Potty's and Bucket Bath's

FRIENDS.... FAMILY.... RANDOM BLOG READERS,

I am SO very excited to finally update my blog, although it has taken a while ;)
I am bursting with JOY because I am headed back to Pemba in about a MONTH!!!

If you haven't seen me recently you might be wondering what I am doing this time and I why I am leaving a month and half earlier than usual (I love that going to Africa is becoming 'usual' for me!!!)

I am just about about finished my third year of Nursing school (WOOOHOOOOOO), and for my year end practice experience I am going to be working with a Canadian RN who is serving as a Public Health Nurse with Iris Ministries in Pemba, Mozambique. We will be working on some health education projects in two local villages which you will hear more about in weeks to come.

This is the same organization that I went with before. After six weeks of being a Nursing a student I will transition into a role similar to my last trip. I will work with the missions school and hug as many children as possible :)

I am Obviously, just slightly, really, really, burstingly, excited about this next adventure and chapter in my life. I will try to blog regularly and I will post pictures when I can.

If you like numbers like, you can count down the minutes with me until I leave using the counter at the right of this page --> --> -->

Candace! When you go this time, you gotta hook up with a girl named Natalie Duncan. She's a friend of mine from here, and she is amazing, like you...for serious, you guys would get along so well. You'll love her laugh too :D Crystal and I got so excited when we put it together that you two are going to be there at the same time!

Oh, and did I mention yet that I'm jealous of you always going to Africa...well...I am...only 'cause it's not my time yet.
...although, it looks as tho I may be going to Rwanda :D YipPIe! And what's even better, is it'd all be paid for, and I'd also get paid to go! It would be for a month...buuuut, I don't know for sure yet, but it kinda feels like it might happen. Anyways...here I am rambling away on your blog.

Miss ya Candace, and love ya more!
