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.

This week's adventures


On Tuesday my mom, Eli, and I went to stay in a condo in a town called Birch Bay. On Wednesday my grandma and some of our cousins came up as well. We went to the beach and the water slides. On Wednesday evening, my cousin Jessica and I went back to my grandma's house while my brother, younger cousins, and my mom stayed another couple nights at the condo.

On Saturday my brother, my cousins Bayley and Jessica, and I went on a 5km mud run. We had to pay to enter, and the money went to an orphanage in Swaziland. We had a lot of fun running and climbing through the mud obstacles.

Today my brother, my mom, and I went to a museum of history and industry in Seattle with my cousins Jojo and Sam. It was pretty interesting, since I did not know much about Seattle's history. There was also some fun interactive touch screen exhibits.

Tomorrow my mom and I will fly to Texas to get my visa. Please pray for safe travel, favor with the officials, and success in getting a visa. Thanks for your help!
