I'M HERE!!! Arrived 9:30pm last night after a very uncomplicated 24hrs of traveling praise the Lord. I was able to unpacked, meet my wonderful 5 roomates who all happen to be nurses as well, shower, and then went to bed! There are people here from all over the world, 32 countries to be exact. We had a tour of the boat this morning and I'm realizing it's going to take awhile for me to find where everything is. They have so many amazing things going on from Sunday morning services held in the room with the patients to a relay race across Togo just for fun. My new friend Michelle is a nurse from Australia and we both arrived at the same time so we're figuring out the place together. Everyone is so sweet and welcoming.....reminds me of my Munson and Access family back home! Michelle and I keep looking at each other and saying.."I can't believe we're in Africa"! Thanks to everyone for all of the encouragement and support. I love you all! May the Lord be glorified by everything that takes place here and may His love that changes people flow through us to every person that we meet!
Thanks for the update, that is such an answer to prayer! From the 24 hours of uneventful travel to your roommates... God is so good! :) Have a blessed week of orientation and meeting people, I pray God is going to do great things through all of you on this trip, all glory to Him! :D
ReplyDeleteSistah!!!! You made it!!!! So excited you're there and getting settled. Can't wait to hear more stories and see pictures! Pumped for all God is going to allow you to participate in WITH Him! You'll be back before you know it so enjoy every minute!
ReplyDeletePossible ideas for your next entry: what's the temp there?? When do you start work? How long is Michelle (or your other roommates) there for?
hehe...can't wait to hear EVERYTHING! You're awesome. Love you!
(PS...Grant tried to comment second, but for some reason it deleted his comment twice. He got discouraged for the time being, but he'll be back. hehe... Actually, is there a way for you to allow 'anonymous comments'?? Cause then people could comment without having to create an account...just wondering!!)
What a wonderful opportunity you have to able to travel and help so many people along the way! God Bless you and whomever you may encounter on your journey!
