I am home now, into my third week back at work. Many people have been asking me if I ever got to really be an OT on the ship. I realized that I have not blogged about that at all. So, the answer is “yes” the last month on the ship was [...]

Adopt a patient

Here on the ship there is an adopt a patient program where crew members pick the name of a patient and befriend them while they are in the hospital. I think it is especially great for crew that do not get to have regular patient contact and it allows them to come experience the [...]

When the work on the ship was slow, God had another project in mind that he allowed me to work on. A few moms on the ship let me know about a little boy in the community who had been to the ship before but was not able to receive surgery. His name [...]
Easter: A Celebration of the Resurrection

It was a real blessing to be aboard the Africa Mercy for Easter this year. Even though it was hard not to be with friends and family, I think of all the holidays to be on the ship, Easter would be my choice. It was a privilege to celebrate with believers from so [...]

Hi everyone. Just wanted to make a few comments on the blog. First of all, I am amazed at how many people are actually reading it. It inspires me to post more, although it adds a little pressure, too. I am still getting the hang of this blogging thing, trying new things as I go. [...]
OT’s…Always Adapting

This post is dedicated to my OT friends…and Laura Rodgers, of course. I know some of you have heard about the OT work being slow for the first several weeks, but I haven’t posted much about it. There was a little timing glitch in my arrival…I came when I was told, but the [...]
Just another day in Monrovia

Well, my plan to update more frequently did not work out… I’m trying to blog as much as I can so I don’t get too behind. On Saturday Feb. 23 I walked to a large market with some friends. We were exhausted at the end of the day, but we all [...]
Church…Africa style

I have really enjoyed the privilege of visiting 3 different churches over the past Sundays. They had many similarities, but they were pretty different, too. The first Sunday I walked with a group of people to a small church in the village not far from the port. It was a neat experience to walk [...]

I am learning that I need to post shorter ones more frequently. When I save too much information it makes the posts too long and harder to write. So hopefully I will get caught up this week and then get on a better schedule.
Monday the 18th we had a huge [...]
The basics

(I started this one last Sunday, so it’s a little old.) It is getting to be late Sunday afternoon. I have been here for almost 2 full days, although it seems like longer than that. We had a tour and some basic orientation on Saturday morning. Other than that, things have been pretty [...]
