WOW!!! So much has happened since I last blogged that I do not know where to start. We finished our out reach in Yams farm and had to leave it to our local villagers to finish. Part of what we (MERCY SHIPS) do, is not just go into a community and build something for them, but teach, involve and inspire those in that community to build for themselves!!! Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach him to fish....... So, sadly we had to leave Yams Farm and start our real jobs on board the Africa Mercy. Wow! Do I have a big job! We serve somewhere in the area of 4000 meals a week and more when the hospital is completely full. I am the Manager over the Food Services Department which includes Dining room, Galley, and special events. Not to mention sanitation, safety and staffing.(but, I just did)lol. I am so blessed that God has given me the knowledge and the ability to do this job and has provided the opportunity as well. I find so much joy in seeing people enjoy the food and service that my team provides and in knowing that I am in the right place that God has chosen for me. I have a wonderful staff of both volunteers and locals from the countries we are serving in and have to work hard to balance them out throughout the weeks. Challenging? YES! Life Fulfilling? ABSOLUTELY!! I am thanking the Lord daily and striving to improve with every minute on board. Well, this is all the time I have right now........so more to come SOON!
