Saturday 9/4 2:37pm

Worked at Wentz yesterday! They've started training me as a receptionist/clerk/medical records/greeter person. I will be responsible for signing people in, finding their chart/creating a new one, seeing that the doctor meets with the patients, bill paying, re-scheduling/telling when people can come back for what they need, or a tall/strong guy to reach/lift things. I'm not sure what that exact title is hahaha.. But, I apparently came at the right time though, I will be taking the place of one of the staff members that is going on a maternity leave beginning next week.

Today I was given the day

I was recently talking to friend from school, he was asking what was going on over here in Africa. In response I told him pretty much what was on the blog, but also wrote some things that were somewhat sudden realizations for me:

"All the planning that I did prepared me pretty well for what to expect here, but at the same time it didnt. haha.. Its surreal being here, I know i am physically here, but at the same time I cant believe it."


"..only thing is i miss everyone a ton. which i expected. even my mom said its not like being away at school where i could drive home for a sunday dinner with the family."

These things are both good experiences, I in no way am complaining. I just look at them as challenges that have been given to me to overcome and be a stronger person for it.

Thanks to everyone who reads the blog! It's somehow encouraging knowing that I can share all my experiences with you guys. 

God bless,

Chris
