More Cleaning and a Soccer Game

We have been busy all week cleaning the ship! Here are a few photos of scenes from the upper deck as we watch the colorful boats go by. It is quite fun.

Mercy Ships hires many local people to work on the ship. This was the last week for these Day Workers and many good-byes and festivities were held. Alyssa has developed good friendships with these workers. One of the activities was on Wednesday after work. It was a Soccer Game between crew and the Day Workers. The first two photos are of the local people coming to watch the game at a local field.

Mercy Ships Preparation

Here we are again preparing for another adventure! We leave next Wednesday to fly to Sierra Leone, West Africa to join Alyssa on the Africa Mercy. Tim will be working with Crew Services, which we understand is housekeeping oriented. I will be in Hospitality and I don't really know what that entails, except that I need to wear a white shirt, black pants or skirt and black dress shoes.

We are excited to be on the ship and be a small part of their work with the people of Sierra Leone. Seeing Alyssa will also be a joy.
