Truly Impressive

Hello all! I know it's been quite a while since anyone has posted on this site but we have been keeping these poor gals very busy. Now that I've finally figured out how to post, I thought I would give you all an update.
Alina and I (April, the lone grad. student) arrived home after a great deal of canceled flights and delays very early on Friday morning. Sadly my Mariachis never came to abduct me nor was my passport stollen so I'm back to working at the hospital and Alina has begun her second half of clinicals locally.
Any and all parents, spouses, children, significant others, ect... reading this blog should be extremely proud of your student. These are truly annointed wonderful women of God. Not only have they proven themselves clinically but they have also been blazing lanterns of God's greatness and overwhelming love for His precious people.
Clinically, all of the students have learned to suture and most of them (if not all) have had the opportunity to suture an actual patient. They have also been developing some great assessment skills, thanks to Dr. McSuave. Angela was able to put into practice what she learned in our impromptu backboarding lesson when her boarded patient began to vomit. Way to go Angela! Kim wowed McSauve with her outstanding stitching. Sarah was brave enough to trade clothing with me for a day. Alina has been boldly (yet tactfully) witnessing to everything that moves. Alessandra has been repeatedly having the "best day of her life". Carrie has been very outgoing in using her language skills not to mention her super sweet Bible reading over skype with Joe. Lorraine has turned out to be little miss surgical nurse. Jessica, in deep devotion to Kyle, managed to fight off an attempted Mariachi abduction. And Beth has been working feverishly to give us all (me included) the best clinical opportunities of our lives even to the point of lending herself to us a patient. (Wasn't it Alessandra who sutured her finger? I think...)
Praise the Lord for His work being done across the nations and in the lives of our students. To God be the glory for ever and ever.
Blessings and Shalom,
April
