So do you want the good news or bad news first??
The bad news is that my friend Sarah is going home Sunday and will be gone until September!!! She is a dental hygienist and the dentists office where her mom works has an opening due to a woman on maternity leave – so Sarah is going home to fill it. So the prayer begins again for God to send me friends.
Also – our friend Kelsies grandma passed away. Kelsie arrived back to the island this past Sunday and found out that night about her grandma. The funeral was Wednesday so she wasn’t able to go back home for it. Please pray for peace and comfort for her.
Now some good news….
First off – WE GOT A CAR!!! We are renting it from semester to semester from a local that works on campus. The good thing about renting and not buying is that if anything happens to the car (that’s not our fault) – then he fixes it! It is a white Nissan Sunny. I will post a picture of it tomorrow. Its too late to get a good picture of it now. This will make my life so much better.
Second – Justin might be able to do his clinicals in Oklahoma City!!! The man in charge of clinicals was here yesterday and I went to the talk he had with Justins class. We asked him specifically about locations in the south and he said they were working on getting a hospital in OKC. He said the guy he is working with is his friend and he is like 99% positive that Ross will get it. They just haven’t had a time to get together – because of schedule conflicts.
Clinical rotations are when we come back to the states (After 5th semester – which is in Miami or Michigan) and Justin does like 6 weeks of each “field” (like general surgery, OBGYN, etc.) Well – with Ross not being a school in the states – there is a chance that we could do each rotation in a different place. As in each rotation being in a different state!!! Well – there are a few places that have all or almost all of the rotations in one hospital (or at least one city). Oklahoma City will be on of them!!!! He will be able to do 5 of the 6 rotations there – and in the same hospital. They will only be accepting 10 students per semester though. And it also depends on GPA and test scores. It is biblical that the Lord cares for the desires of our heart (Psalms 37:4) so please start praying NOW that the Lord will allow us to be in Oklahoma City. We want to start a family when we get back (besides just our dogs) and it will be pretty impossible to do that if were in a different place every 6-8 weeks! Also – OKC is close to family! My brother and sister-in-law LIVE there and it is only 3 hours from my parents and my dads side of the family. Unfortunately its not as close to Justins family – but closer than Chicago or New York!! Now don’t yall get your hopes up (I should be speaking to myself – Im already picking out places to live). This is still a little more than a year away but Im just glad it might be possible!
