First Impressions

Made it to Chidamoyo Hospital safely!
First thoughts of Africa- it is hot. There is a lot of land with nothing on it, yet there are people everywhere. The drive from the Harare Airport to the mission is 4 hours, and once you get out of Harare there is nooooothing, but for the entire drive we never went more than 300 ft without passing someone on foot. Most people are travelling between villages, or gathering water at the well to take back to their village. Lots of babies on foot too. Most are cruising with babies just a little bigger than themselves.
Every picture that you have ever seen of africa- true. Lots of dirt, chickens, and straw huts.  I'm always surrounded by dry grass and bushes taller than me. Everyone wears obama stuff. Geckos always stare at me when i'm going to the bathroom. Roosters are my new alarm clock. No phones, but internet is great when we have electricity...riddle me that one??? The hospital is busy beyond belief, head nurse and missionary Kathy McCarty and her staff must be angels, bc a normal person would not be able to handle the work that they do. God is using them everyday.
Just getting started here, but I wanted to give everyone an idea of what Chidamoyo does and also provide a  glimpse into life here- spoiler alert- it is different.
