Perhaps the most enjoyable for me though was the time I got to spend with various students in the surgery suite. Enforced time with me means you have to chat! I learned about one graduate's passion for anesthesia and education, another student's brother serving with IMB in Europe, and yet another's whose sister has a new album being released (which my dad apparently played some tracks on).
The student with a missionary brother was surprised to hear about Christian Veterinary Mission, so it was great to share with her how her vet tech skills can be used to further God's kingdom!
Overall, it was a great reminder of how eager I am to be living life with my students in Bolivia! Looking forward to the surgery table and cattle working discussions we will have!
Oh, the tiring part--30+ surgeries for me in approximately 6 hours, thank goodness Dr. Burchette was there too to share the load. We were also so blessed to have our wonderful friend Dr. Jennifer Johnson there too to manage all the animals in recovery!
