celebrating life

This has been a big week for us at the health center.  We had our six month anniversary today.  We had a great “family” lunch together and all shared memories, mostly good, of our past 6 months together.  We laughed and celebrated and were all extremely thankful for the past 6 months.  We also dreamt together about what we would like to see happen in the next 6 months.  I really do love those people.

We saw our 900th patient today!  That was exciting news – not our 900th visit but 900th actually person for us to see.

The rest of the week has been pretty tough.  There are just a lot of hard things that happen in peoples.  This week, I seemed to see more of them.

Again this week, I saw another 17 year old girl that was pregnant except she had already decided to abort her baby.  She already had a two year old child.  That was a hard one.  Lisa was able to come help again and Dr. Nate was so wonderful to provide an ultrasound again.  We have yet to see what happens with this girl.  She hasn’t shown the change like the girl from the previous week.  My hope is that the first girl becomes a leader to these young pregnant girls. 

I will keep you updated.

Much love.
