The Month That Was: January

Dinner at Eagle Ray's

Zip-lining in not Barrow

This last month has been a busy one filled with new people and new experiences. For Christmas and New Year’s, I was in Roatan with my folks and my girlfriend and had an amazing time! After finishing the first half of the school year, I needed to recharge my batteries, and by lounging on the beach with a cold drink and finishing The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Trilogy, I was able to do exactly that. If anyone is looking for a fun place to go on a vacation, I would highly recommend Roatan. Great food, beautiful beaches, cool snorkeling, fun activities on land (like zip-lining), and a happening night life are all available on the island.

One reason January seemed to fly by was that Hannah and I actually had lots of company up above the operating room. There were volunteers from North Carolina who came to put up the new hangar; Hannah’s mother, two brothers, and three friends visited and either worked in the clinic or worked down at the YWAM base on the new student house/classroom; a surgical team from Barcelona; and two doctors from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. It was great to see all of these people volunteering there time and efforts for the clinic.

One exciting thing coming up this next week is that Gerard, Norvelle, and Peter will be going to Michigan for two weeks to check out schools for Peter. Peter and I have been practicing interview questions that the private school is going to ask him. I think he’s going to do great!

I’ll try to keep the blog posts coming at a more frequent pace from now on.
