My Last Post from West Africa

Saying Goodbye

For those that followed this incredible journey, thank you! Each one plays a part whether you stay, go, support, pray or get fully involved in something totally different where God has called YOU! I think He is creative in making all us strange body parts fit together where He wants us.

Farewell to Day Crew Mamadama.

This is where He has me.

So, let me finish up with what happened during the amazing Guinea, West Africa, field service with Mercy Ships. This all actually started in August 2018 and just ended now in June 2019. The Lord called me to be a part of this for the last two plus months.

Medical Capacity Building

In the country of Guinea and in the city of Conakry, passing the education to do what Mercy Ships has done for 40 years. If MCB is successful, the ship would not be needed any more.

Our Neonatal Resuscitation Course Participants.

Surgical Specialties Completed

Accomplished this field service for the people of Guinea, West Africa:

Heading Home

Cars loaded on Deck 8

Lifting the gangway is final step for departure.

Guinean Port workers who knew why were in Guinea saluted us in our departure, waved, shouted praises and took as many pictures of us as we did of them.

I'm riding aboard the ship as I type here, headed for dry dock where they will lift the ship totally out of the water, perform an abundance of maintenance including scraping the barnacles off the ship that have collected over the time in Guinea.

The sail is smooth but some are still barfing off deck 7 into the sea.

We ended our day with a special worship time on the bow.

Two brand new volunteer crew just left their West African countries of Benin and Guinea for the very first time in their lives and laughingly told me they were freezing!

Just imagine what their other first impressions will be when they encounter first world countries during their service with Mercy Ships.

I will be home in a few days excited to see my husband Guy after over two months away from him.
