I am part of a family of six who followed God's call to live on a ship, the Africa Mercy, in order to bring hope and healing to the poor of West Africa. Living here has shaped my character and strengthened my relationship with the LORD. Although my life journey has included excitement, adventure, frustration, monotony, joy, heartache, craziness,mercy, fun, pain, hope, and many other highs and lows, God has always come through for me in the little things and the big things. As I continue serving Jesus I invite you to join me, support me in prayer, and catch up on what is happening in my life from time to time.

Summer Plans

School has been out for a few days now, so my family and I have gotten started on our summer plans. My brother Eli is working in the galley for his summer project until he goes to the U.S with my mom. He helps out by washing dishes, peeling and cutting veggies, and cooking. I have been babysitting my brother Xavier as well as Stephen, a busy little one and a half year old. I am also helping Malachi with his summer project by teaching him his U.S states and capitals. Another thing Malachi is working on is his typing skills. My dad is working his job and filling in for his boss at the same time. My mom is, well, being a mom.

In June I will fly to North Carolina to stay with my friend Bethany for a week and a half. Then I will go to Washington State to visit my grandma and cousins. My mom and Eli will be in Washington as well. In July my mom and I will go to Texas so I can get my visa to France. Then we will go back to Washington. My mom and brother will return to the ship in mid July. I will stay in the U.S until mid August when I will go to France.

One activity I will be doing in Washington is visiting a monastery on Shaw island for two weeks. I will stay in a guest house and help the nuns on the farm. I might repair fences, feed animals, clean stalls, or even learn to make cheese!

This summer includes a lot of moving around, but I know it will be all the more fun because of all the different places and people I will visit.
