Hey Naomi,
Haven't talked to you in what seems like forever!! How have things been going for you with mercy ships? My email is trappernick22000@hotmail.com and my cell is 538-6321. If you get any free time, it would be nice to catch up. Hope things are going well, and hope to hear from you! -Nick
Thanks for the exciting post, Naomi! With a bag to carry such as yours, I can't imagine that last mile and a half or other parts of your journey were as easy as it sounded.
It is so good to hear that you have found yourself back safe && sound to the ship and with time to spare!(?) I hope you enjoy your next set of sailing days (at least more than the last trip :-) ) and have time to prepare yourself for the next stretch of ministry in Benin.
Might God bless and keep you and the crew!
Hey Na!
SO glad you're writing again- great to read your musings...
Love, Mom
