Journey with us through West Africa, living and working on a hospital ship-the good, the bad and the ugly!
Preamble
We are a family of three; Andrew, Jodie and Jessica (aged 18) from Tasmania, Australia who are currently serving in Douala, Cameroon, Central Africa on the M/V Africa Mercy, the largest non-governmental hospital ship in the world, through Mercy Ships International. God has called us on a journey that has been many years in the making. For this season we call Africa home, as we seek to bring hope and healing to the poorest of the poor.

Can you spot our divers? |

Jodie's 15 seconds of fame!
Imagine our surprise when we opened this month's Mercy Ships online newsletter, "Connections" to find it staring, well, me, Jodie!! Connections goes world wide so guess that gives me 15 seconds of fame. Mind you my accent sounds lovely and okka-how do you spell that? This month's Connections focuses on a midwifery conference in Freetown and part two is all about the international crew and the cool thing is that I am the intro!! The reason I look hot, exhausted and am sporting bed hair is that I am about seven hours into our second screening day, after rising at 5:00am and walking in scorching heat and humidity up and down a hill. Aaaahhhh-the price of fame-lol! Hope you enjoy!

Easter Egg-Stravaganza!
There was a definite eggy theme going on. This is a photo from the reception area of an egg tree. Faith, Hope and Love. |
Whalla! The end result. All those months watching Master Chef finally paid off as I found myself mysteriously and instinctively knowing how to fill and use a piping bag!! |
Go Albert! |
On Sunday afternoon the kids listened to the Easter Egg Resurrection Story and then went on an Easter Egg hunt around the ship. Here is Jess ready to go! |
