Well I have finally made it to Koutiala after a 6 hour drive in a van with no air conditioning, 12 people including 5 kids all under the age of 4. It was an interesting experience, but I rather enjoyed it. The kids were adorable and we had a good time playing I spy and many other games. We stopped for lunch at a place along the Niger river and I ate sheep...it was actually really good. Koutiala has been pretty good so far. As soon as I arrived I was taken over to Olive's house(she is the midwife I will be working with). She made a wonderful dinner for me and we talked for a long time about the hospital and my experience in the hospital at the US. We talked about what I want to do while I'm here and I'm really excited to begin at the hospital tomorrow.
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed as it's another change of scenery and all new people to get to know. I feel like I'm in a little over my head as I don't have very much experience and I have no clue what I'm doing. I answered God's call to come and so I know there is a reason I am here, He just has not shown that to me yet. Don't get me wrong I am loving Mali and it is so great to be here, but I am way out of my comfort zone and feeling overwhelmed. Tomorrow is another day and I'm sure it will only get better from here.
I'm still waiting on my bags hoping they will come soon. God has provided for my needs in so many ways, but It kills me that I can't give the missionaries all of the presents I brought for them. Please continue to pray that they come.
