The Adventures of a University of Alberta BScN student in Africa
Happy Thanksgiving!
A very happy Canadian thanksgiving to all of our fellow Canadians from Ghana! If our Monday morning wasn’t very happy, it was certainly boosted with the commute to the polyclinics in an air-conditioned, newly-cleaned bus! It was so perfect!
The rest of the day went well—I had one day in the antenatal clinic, which is literally one of my favourite things.
Our group celebrated thanksgiving with a potluck and some belly-exercising Charades, “would you rather” philosophies, bucket list items, and our gratitude list.
I am super thankful to be here in Ghana—it’s been so life-changing already! Thank you also for all the support and encouragement from family and friends back home! I wouldn’t be here without you!
A single, thirty-something, registered nurse-ish, lover of the abundant life we can have in Jesus Christ. I am passionate about joyful singleness, Godly marriages, loving families, and things relating to adoption and working with kiddos.
When I am not working at the local hospital, you may find me enjoying walks, going for spontaneous truck drives and getting lost, eating chocolate and probably lots of it, jotting down random thoughts from my brain, marveling at little details in God's world, chatting philosophically with my way-smarter siblings or sharing deep spiritual conversations with them, laughing at random things people (or animals) do, or just plain enjoying homemaking in my little home (and probably dreaming about my future farm).
