Back in the Saddle

Okay, so I've been wretched at blogging as of late (last blog a month ago and no pictures for longer than that).  Thankfully, we have finally moved back on board the Africa Mercy after 5 months ashore in South Africa while the generators were being replaced.  Actually, they're still trying to work the kinks out on that and we're scheduled to sail Tuesday.  Pray for us.

At any rate, as I said, we're back on board and now have access to a much more reliable internet connection and the advantage of being back in a familiar environment.  So, I really should be posting more often.  Feel free to harass me if that doesn't happen. 

So, a few things have changed.  I've moved into a new office.  It's smaller but I now have a window (two of them actually) so it's definitely worth it.  Some changes have been made to the management structure of the Hospital, the results of which we'll see soon enough.  The pool is finally open, although it will close soon as it has to be emptied for sailing.  Speaking of which, we hope to set sail (we don't really have any sails) Tuesday.  We will likely make a very short stop in Cape Town (like 24 hours) and then on to Freetown, Sierra Leone (about an 18 day sail) for a 10 month field service.

It's awesome to be back on board and we're so excited to finally be heading back to West Africa and getting back to doing what God has called us to. 

Hope you'll continue to ketchup with us.
