As i sit here on my cabin floor dressed in my scrubs ready for an evening shift on the worlds largest NGO i am feeling a bit reflective....I am first of all blessed for the amount of amazing and awesome (becker, that's just for you) friendships I have made here in 2 months. Living in such a cramped and small community forces you to be friendly and talk, not that i have a problem with that but thankfully by doing that I made friends that i know i will be in contact with for life!!you know who you are :0) I am sad that today i have sad goodbye yet again to a precious friend and crew member but at least I know I have places to stay when i go on holidays now!lol!
I am also blessed that i have have had the privilege of being a crew member on Mercy Ship. Although its not perfect like every organisation run by man it is no doubt trying to make a difference in the world and is achieving some amazing things. Lives, bodies, faces and limbs have truly been transformed and it is an honor to be part of it. I have uploaded some photos on to my facebook of the patients I have met and I will try to get some more pictures uploaded on here as a stories can truly be told through some of the before and after pictures i have seen!
So, as another evening shift begins where I will greet new patients who come onto the ship for the first time and walk into the ward for the first time and maybe even meet a white person for the first time I will attempt to show them Gods love and honor Him through my actions. It will be an evening full of teaching like how to use a toilet, how to wash their hands correctly, cannula ting which is absolutely NO problem normally because these men have veins like ropes because of all the manual labor they do and perhaps receiving some patients back from surgery. All in all I am feeling blessed and honored today and slightly sad because I don't have much longer left.....
Love to you all....
