Happy Easter from west Africa!

Gethsemane in Africa

We transformed our main meeting room into the "Garden of Gethsemane" as a place of prayer leading up to Easter. Matthew 26:36-46.

Disconcerting

I'm used to driving on the right side of the road. I've lived outside the US long enough now that I'm also used to driving on the left side of the road. I am not, however, used to cars driving the same direction on *both* sides of the road.

Go fret?

I picked these wafer cookies up in a local shop today. The title, when read in English, seems contrary to the relaxing nature of tea drinking, pictured on the package. (I thought it was funny, ymmv...)

...this one too

It's a trap! ...?

My faith grows a little bit every time I see this boat return to the harbor.
(and also my anxiety for the people on it)

Walking blood bank

Today I learnt that I have a new ability: turning Coke into blood! Well, hopefully. The blood went away before I got the Coke...

Trying something new

So I've been abysmal at keeping this blog up to date so I'm going to try something new - PICTURES! I'm targeting a few a week with (hopefully) witty commentary as an attempt to capture a small slice of (the sometimes? crazy *sheepish shrug*) life here in Mercy Ships. Bon appétit!
