Hi to all, I cannot believe I am on the Island of St Lucia, West Indies that's in the Caribbean in case you don't know. It is hot and humid and green and beautiful. It is not the USA that is for sure. I am here to study Medicine at Destiny University School of Medicine. I am very excited but terrified at the same time. It is all Keith's fault I am here since he decided to check out of this life last year on June 27, the same day as the Prophet Joseph's martyrdom. People tell me that it was not a coincidence....who knows though. But that is another story. I miss him terribly but I need to take care of myself and family so I figure continuing on with my education and becoming a physician is a good way to do that.
So anyway here I am. I live in the little town of Vieux Forte which is on the southern tip of the Island. I have a really cute apartment in the same complex that the Sr missionary couple in the branch live. I bought a car yesterday for 3,500 it is as Laura calls it a "naggin wagon". Ha ha ha.(inside joke)
I have become friends with Dr Lois Newman. She has been a lifesaver for me. When I came down a month ago she picked me and Joseph and Sam up at the airport and drove us everywhere. I appreciated it soooo much. She teaches a lot of my med classes and is funny and eccentric and has a mind like a steel trap. She taught for years at Jefferson med school in Philadelphia. She has done so many interesting things she even did a lot of the research that was used in the world court against thalidadmide an anti nausea drug used to treat morning sickness that caused severe birth defects.
I start class next week so this is my last few days to be able to goof off. Tom, Laura and Ella flew down from the island of St Maarten where Tom is going to AUC med school to help me get settled. Thanks Tom and Laura and Ella. You guys are awesome.
