Not a lot happening this week. The weather continues to be lovely with nice sunny days and some storms at night. We’ve even had hail a few times this week.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m the duty officer this week, so I’m always expecting the phone to ring with an emergency. I’ve had a few calls, but luckily nothing too urgent. I had three calls Wednesday during the night; just when I would go to sleep, the phone would ring again – argh!

Our former co-worker from Juarez, Yazmin, passed away on Thursday after having a liver transplant here in GDL. John and I helped get folks from the Consulate to donate blood and had gotten to visit her a couple of times. She was such a sweetie and leaves behind a husband and two children.
