Field Service Complete

I was so excited to learn over the weekend that one of the young men from the deaf school works at the hotel we are staying in. I have been able to practice my sign language with him, and develop a new friendship. It has been exciting for me to come back to the hotel in the evening and go to say "Hello" to him. I wish that my sign language were more fluent, but somehow, we seem to understand each other despite my limited sign language.
We have been eating our dinner outside this week, once at a local park, and now at the local beach.

We have completed all five murals at last, and our field service is completed. I have determined that I will go back to the deaf school as often as I can while we are here in Guinea and continue to build and develop the friendships that I have begun with the teachers and children at the school. I have found my place in Guinea. Perhaps the best part of this week was seeing one of the teachers using our mural to teach teachers who had never heard of the solar system before. So encouraging to know that our paintings are going to help to further the education in this school.

We have successfully completed our field service, and now it is time for a new assignment. Now I become a nurse aboard the Africa Mercy. I cannot wait to see what the Lord is going to do.
