Today was the last day of IMS. A lot of people are leaving to go back home now because they are doing the rest of training at different times. It is kind of sad and yet exciting to know that in a few months I will see many of them on the ship! Also new people are arriving for Gateway training; we got another roomate. She's from South Africa.
Today we had sack lunches and a bunch of us went down by a little lake and sat on an old (unstable) pier. Lots of goofiness! it was fun. ;-p Tonight we went swimming and will probably watch a movie because tomarrow is Saturday and the first day we get to SLEEP IN!!!!! :-D
About Me
- Leah Fiechter
- I am serving with Mercy Ships in West Africa. I will be on the ship for a year and a half until March 2011, and I will have the opportunity to travel from Benin to Tenerife, Togo, South Africa, and Sierra Leone. along the way I've also had the opportunity to be in Ghana, Paris France, Switzerland, and Germany. It's been quite the adventure! I started out working as a receptionist on the ship for 5 months. Then in our outreach to Togo, I had the opportunity to work with the Dental team offship as their sterilizer. Now here in South Africa i'm working in the Galley as well as helping to drive to schools so we can teach them dental hygiene. I've also been able to work shortly here and there in house keeping, and the engine room cleaning tanks. It is amazing to see how God is touching lives; those of the patients in the hospital, as well as the crew, and many others including my own! I pray He shows me more and more of Himself and my love for him will continue to grow. :)
