Welcome to my Blog! I will be posting my trip, pictures, and updates on this blog. In addition, life provoking questions and thoughts during my experience in Sierra Leone will also be posted. I will try to update this blog at least once a week when I arrive in Africa on the hospital ship.
First of all, I want to give gratitude to everyone that has supported me in making this trip a reality. Your donations, prayers, and words of encouragement have made it possible for me to join the Mercy Ship. It was a lengthy process with several roadblocks along the way; however, having perseverance and determination, I was finally able to get accepted. I pray that during my 5 months stay, I will gain an experience that I can not be expose to in the United States. In addition, I pray that I continue to experience God through helping the poor and needy (Matthew 25:35-46) and continue to grow in all aspects of my life.
I will be flying out of DC on April 19th and arriving in London, England. Then I will be flying to Sierra Leone International Airport in Freetown. After that, a water taxi will take me to the hospital ship, and that is where it begins!
