Let me give you a bit of an overall update to this point of what this time here has been for me:
Serving with Mercy Ships and working on the Africa Mercy has been a wonderful experience. It has been challenging and eye opening. Everyone told me before I came that this would be a life changing experience and an adventure. I’m not sure what I expected. I think I thought it would be something huge and dramatic and adventurous, but it wasn’t at all what I expected. It was depressing, difficult, and humiliating. But through these challenges and other people’s help came a great and new understanding of myself and of God. I now know exactly why God brought me here, and I am so happy to be here. It’s my home now.
I love this ship, this community. I don't think there is another one like it. There are so many different types of people here, and I would have never met any of them had I not come here. Unfortunately I don't really have the words to fully explain what I mean. Point is, I love it.
