Today many of our staff members left for their Christmas break. Without them, there are only ten of us here. The place feels empty. Last night we had a chance to say good bye and hand out a few Christmas presents.
I will miss the Hippopatamus Club and their laughter.
While they are gone, our clinic will be seeing emergencies only. Please pray for Tom and Stephanie, our doctor and midwife as they handle the clinic on their own.
The guys have been calling each other hippopotamus for a while. I wondered why for a long time until I got this explanation: One of them was assisting Dennis in the clinic. Dennis asked for a certain size needle and was handed a giant one by mistake so he said that it was a needle for a hippopotamus. From then on, that became their nickname for each other. It makes me laugh every time I hear it.
