There was great excitement among the crew as we finally set sail for Congo. This is the start of something new. Mercy Ships has never been to Congo before. We are breaking new ground, and the anticipation is almost palpable. Teodoro was there to play his trumpet as we sailed out of Tenerife, as he has done every time the ship has sailed from Tenerife. It gave us a real sense of blessing as we sailed from port.

As before, the bow is one of my favorite places during the sail. The very best part of the sail is when the captain announces "Dolphins on the bow", and everyone races to get to the bow and hang over the railing to watch the dolphins as they dance and leap in the wake created by the ship as it cuts through the waves.

Of course another favorite for me is still worship on the bow. It is so wonderful to be with this community, singing praises to our Lord together as we move on to our new home for the next ten months
I am more eager than ever to reach Congo. After spending the entire summer working in housekeeping, I am anxious to be a nurse again, and more than anything I want to be back in Africa.
