What am I learning?


Well, it’s my day off!  My accomplishments for this week:

-Prenatal appointment in Spanish

-correctly determining a baby’s position in the belly, and finding its heartbeat!

-successfully drawing someone’s blood!


Though a busy week, as per usual, class did get out early one day, giving me the chance to experience the mountain! I drove up the Scenic Drive, stopped on the side of the road, and started my ascent. Though the path was littered with broken bottles, the sky-scape was phenomenal! One thing the has not ceased to amaze me about El Paso is the sky. Coming from Manitoba, I am used to wide expanses of sky and beautiful sunsets, but of the days I’ve been here in El Paso, the combination of clouds and mountains has been awe-inspiring! The presence of the mountains so close and the accessibility of hiking trails has been an unexpected blessing in the middle of this bustling city, and when you add to that the amazing cloud formations and the touch of breeze floating through the streets, it is wonderful!

Though I don't have a camera, before my parents left I did make use of theirs, and when I saw these clouds, I had to take some pictures, even if just because I thought my brother in law would like to see them :)



What a reminder to me that the heavens do declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the works of His hands!
