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.

Youth Group!

Last weekend we had a fun and different youth group night. We played various games involving food. First we played "Chubby Chihuahuas." Each of us had a large handful of jalapeno pepper slices. The youth leaders played a song called Roxanne. Each time we heard the word Roxanne in the song we had to put a jalapeno slice in our mouth. If you spit out your mouthful of peppers or swallowed them, you were out. Whoever was left at the end won. It turned out, there were actually three tied winners: me, Nathan, and Ethan.

Next we went upstairs. The youth group leaders laid on the ground below and we made their faces into ice cream sundaes by dropping ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and sprinkles down onto them.

We found partners for the third game. We spread peanut butter all over our faces and our partner had to throw sprinkles at us.









Another game we played included bowls of pudding with wrapped chocolate coins in the bottom. We had to lay down with our hands behind our backs and eat all the pudding. When only the coins were left, we had to unwrap them with our mouths and eat them!

There was a lot of cleanup to do after the games. Then we went home to shower. Finally, we split into boys and girls and had separate movie nights. I think that it was the most interesting and fun youth night yet!
