Saturday 23 June - a slow day

Today has been pretty slow. We did a few CT's, UltraSounds, 1 fluro and 1portable chest. It was laundry day so I went down about 10 as I am finding everyone puts their stuff in early before work starts.  Madison the interpreter, who is now in x-ray, went to sick call and now is in isolation as he has the flu bug really bad. I saw Danielle Taysom first thing this morning then she went down to her bunk as she isn't feeling well. Don't know if she has the bug. 

Since it was so slow, I went down to the peds ward with the Ratuki cards and stickers. Most of the kids sit around all day watching Disney shows, so I played cards with some of the parents and translators. Was down there for about 4 hours.  They all had so much fun playing the game and I wanted to give one of them the game but I didn't think it would be fair to pick. I have one of the Girl's address and told her I would mail one for each of them to her family. So I need to pick up 5 of them and send when I get home. While I was at the ward i was talking to the young lady of our group who was having a hard time with her department leader. I asked her how she is doing and she said she has till Tuesday to decide if she is staying for the whole thing or coming home. She said she has mixed feelings and really can't decide what do to. I told her she needed a blessing and to ask one of the new men  who just came on board. I said they would not have any bias so they would just rely on what the spirit prompts. She had not thought of that and would ask one of them. 

We did not have devotional as they do a week in review for all the crew at the same time. I am on call tech for the night so hopefully I don't get paged as I would still have to get one of them up to log into the computer and help me. 

Last night they gave us more info on our tour. It will cost $60 for the tour and we have to pay for the temple clothes rental and the cost of staying at the temple housing. They also said our 2 humanitarian people, would join us on the 26.  (Susan Puls and Lynn S.) they said we would get a GA to join us for lunch at 12 on the 28th. I will be out on the pier both those days so will miss out on both. Will be on the pier tomorrow so that will be your Saturday night. I will see if the FaceTime is working again. No promises. Hope we will get a chance to go a bit into the town as the restrictions have been lifted a bit. Tried a few new foods they brought back today. Nothing so different from us. 

Love you guys. Have a fun Saturday.
