Monday morning
Yesterday went well. After breakfast I learned more about sterlizing instruments and running autoclave machines from Alfred Anderson, a gentleman who has been here several times and is the expert on the Sterilization Room. He's a great teacher! We went to church here in the village of Montellano. Their singing is beautiful. I recognized almost all of the songs (by tune, of course!). Carlos, the director of Clinical Ezell, lead part of the singing and we sang several in English. I was thankful. :-) James, a 17 year old, spent the day with Alfred and me in the sterilization room. We also had help from Adam, Hannah and Laura, all college students. The doctors did seven surgeries yesterday so we weren't all that busy although we worked until 10:00 last night (they didn't start on surgeries until mid-afternoon). Today will be much different, I expect, as they will get started right away this morning on surgeries. I slept GREAT last night (me and my little friend, Tylenol PM)... after not sleeping well at all the night before, it sure felt good. Carlos made some calls last night about my missing bag - but, so far, it hasn't shown up. Oh well. It was just "stuff". :-)

Alfred is from near Clarksville, Ralph's home town. I worked with him once. He is amazing. Glad you are getting that experience. Til 10 pm. is a long day in the sterlizing room! We are praying for you all the time.
Glad things are goiing well - hope that suitcase turns up! All set up at Galax - of course it is never easy - Dad's truck stopped working on the way there, Robert and I got pulled on the way up (improper equipment - no working lights on the camper!) and Geep's truck would not start Sunday morn as we are getting ready to get in line... but all is set up now with deck etc. hottest week in NC this summer!
Mom wants to know what kind of surgery is being done at your location.
