Today was my first day at our official and now permanent work site: The Saidabad Clinic. It actually was started by Americans. I was stationed at the receptionist desk and was told to help make cards with the patients name, age, date, and number on them with a plastic covering. The girl I worked with, Agnes, was nice. She doesn’t speak a lot of English, but was very cheerful and used others that know how to speak English to communicate with me. Zach had this job before, when I was sick, and he thought it was boring. I guess you could say it is, but I find things to do. For instance, I pray for the people coming into the clinic, I practiced listening for ages, I know #1-20, and little things like that. We only stay for half the day because we ate lunch at Grace House. When everyone is feeling better we will have an afternoon site, but that might not be until next week.
I got to take a nap, which helped me to feel recharged. (I really need to stop writing half a day of journals and then leaving it, because when I do go back I no longer remember when I wrote it or what happened the rest of the day.) Later I got a few people together to play settlers. I really like this game. Zach won and I came in last due to a conspiring by Caleb and Lauren who try to mess everyone else up because they couldn’t win. That night we were playing cards and we were told to worship. We had originally met to see a slide show of picks from Old Dhaka. Adriel was really pushy and kind of harsh especially towards Caleb. I don’t know if this needs to be addressed, but her words and actions did not leave me with peace. I tried to go to bed early, but my roomies decided to stay up and leave all the lights on. On top of this there was a storm this night.
