Nurgina

I'll never forget it as long as I live. Nor will I ever be able to get the sound out of my mind.

I was helping out in the clinic earlier today with the normal flow of patients for a Sunday morning, when around 11:30 am we heard someone coming up the trail wailing. We looked to see Buba carrying his younger sister, our friend, 15 year old Nurgina on his back. She had her eyes closed and was screaming at the top of her lungs, "Meningkag siu ne, meningkag siu ne..." (let's pray, let's pray...)

creepy crawlies part 2

So I'm back, with part 2 of my saga. But before I launch into this, I must
type a disclaimer: I am a very blunt, down-to-earth type of person, and I'm
a CNA - nothing grosses me out. So if you are the squeemish type, you
probably should avoid reading this, though it will be very educational!

creepy crawlies part 1

ma_jc4ever@hotmail.com (Mishala Abrams) — Sun, 14 May 2006 00:00:00 -0400

When it comes to creepie crawlies, I consider myself a very tolerant person, especially for a girl. I don't scream when I see a spider or snake, (in fact I don't scream for practically any reason, and girls that do frankly get on my nerves! no offence anyone!) or run away from a lizard. I at least tolerate most creepy crawlies. However, they do have this one annoying problem in common: they like to pop out at the most annoying times and at least try to scare people. Thus the reason why I can't stand the one critter I hate: Toads. and frogs too, but they arn't as bad. I could be walking calmly down a path, enjoying the evening cool, when all of a sudden, HOP! right in front of me, a "rock" moves. I mean, how freeky is that!? (but I still don't scream!) So that is why, when I found a gargantious granddaddy toad residing in front of my house, I asked him to leave, and not so nicely. In fact, I even ushered him, with the help of a long stick, from his residence in my gate ditch to a new home across the street. But this guy was huge! He was the size of a volley ball!... ok... a grapefruit!... ok fine, just a large orange size. But that's still way to big for my comfort.

From Krystal

Hello Everyone! I hope you are have a fantastic week!

I had an experience that I just have to share. This is the story....

Last Wednesday, February 1, 2006 I took Jared and Caleb on a field
trip. I thought it would be nice to take them to the hospital to give
water to the patients and to pray with them. (Important information
that you need to know--just before the boys and I left for the
hospital I decided to bring my passport with me. I never carry my
passport but something or more specifically someONE told me to bring
it) .

Saga of the Missing Wallet

It all started that Wednesday evening. The plot was laid. Everyone was on cue. She suspected nothing. We climbed into the vehicles and headed for the beach. Good, she wasn't driving. We could relax, but only for a minute...
