Because there are so many things I've experienced for the first time here.
The window is open, so's that door
Unless it's raining we don't close them anymore
Good thing we use mosquito nets when it's late
For weeks I've roamed the hospital halls
Why don't they have any protocols?
Finally I'm learning about drip rates
IVs and D10 in all people
To me it's totally strange
But wow, I am getting used to this change
'Cause for the first time in forever
I gave a Scot a rabies vaccine
For the first time in forever
A vacuum delivery I've seen
Don't know if lil Stephen's elated or gassy
But he's somewhere in that zone
For the first time in forever
I have a 3-year-old bodyguard of my own
I can't wait to watch Youtubes with Enah! (gasp)
What if I watch... Peppa Pig?
Tonight imagine me marker and all
With dry erase board against the wall
Teaching about different colors, hygiene and shapes
Ooh! I suddenly see them standing there
Sunday school children at 7am already here
First I gotta stuff some eggs and rice in my face
But then we sing and learn about Jesus,
Which is totally a blast
The Sundays fly by so very fast
For the first time in forever
I've seen Vietnam, had so much fun
For the first time in forever
I've been called Vietnamese by someone
And I know it is totally crazy
Learning to speak Khmer
But for the first time in forever
There's no other way to get by
The LCC students:
Don't let her go, don't let her leave
Maybe she'll stay if I pray and just believe
Stay here, stay near, go to e-camp
Don't give your passport for the exit stamp
Me: It's been an amazing summer
LCC students: It's been an amazing summer
Me: Only a few more days to wait
LCC students: A few more days to wait
Me: It's almost time to go back to the states
LCC students: The states
Me: For the first time in forever
LCC students: Don't let her go, don't let her leave
Me: I've lived a summer I've dreamed of
LCC students: Maybe she'll stay if I pray and just believe
Me: Two months on this side of the world
LCC students: Stay here
Me: A chance to share Christ's love
LCC students: Stay here, stay near, go to e-camp
Me:
I know I go back home next week,
So I'm thankful for today
'Cause for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever
I am going to miss Kratie!
I know, this is only a somewhat informative post, but it sure is a fun one! If you have questions about any of my new experiences mentioned here, message or email me! Or ask me next week when I'm in the States!
With love,
