Thursday 7 June - Another Busy Day

I took a shower last night about 11 so I went to bed with wet hair. I got up about 4:40 because I didn't know what it would look like. I was able to braid my bangs across the front and straightened the rest. Didn't look too bad if I so so myself. I had instant grits and and cantaloupe for breakfast. Today's we were having the 2nd and final day in port of Manado. We were told to expect a out 70 chest patients at the most. We ended up doing about 140. Things were a bit disorganized as every time they run a day there are different people at each station. We were pretty steady with the same people in x-ray so that doesn't effect us. Each day there have all the various groups working their place and there are people gone off the ship so it makes it difficult to have continuity each day.  

We get the patients before they have checked them for lice so I hope there is no itchy on me.  We basically did patients from 8 am till 6 pm with 2 breaks of 1/2 hour to eat. Went to devotional -  Madison Burr talked about follow in the footsteps of Christ.  He showed us the way and we need to just follow Him. People on the ship are always watching us to see which way we are going in the things we do. We need to be the example of Christ.

I uploaded pictures from one of the ladies. I need to create albums of who is giving me stuff so Danielle, we will see how I do. I looked at the iPad instruction book I uploaded. It can' make it create a new one so I will get out your instructions tomorrow and give it a try.

Tried something called snake fruit.  Kind of like a pear. The name is from the outer skin looks like the skin of a snake. Took pictures. One of the ladies in our department went off the ship today - she took some of my money and bought a key chain/ornament that has a fish and says Manado on the back. Talked to Colette and Cameron today so hope you can keep up to date on the emails.

Looks like we will get 1 day in Manila then get to to our trip to this volcano/lake/ volcano, to a restaurant, to Philippines temple and do a session, stay in a hotel then get on the plane to come home. Dad I looked at an email from delta and they said my flight got changed? Is it just a few minutes or did they cancel one and book me on another?

Hope dad got the three pictures we tried to send. The one is of the front of our boat as I was arriving for shore and the sun was going down. Shot it standing up in the boat - I was between a guys leg and the rail. Thought it looks cool. Be careful putting military stuff on the blog and emails. Don't want anything to come back on us.

Love you guys and thanks for sending the emails and taking time to talk when I call. Tell Julie hatch about the picture restrictions the navy gave us and I will get as many as I can. The ladies visited the chapel in the town so I got copies of their pictures . Love you, Mom
