We are waiting and watching for the arrival of the m/v Africa Mercy. We brought the flags from the International Lounge to the dock to wave. I am in the middle of this photo as we excitedly await her arrival.

View my cabin on the m/v Anastasis #142 B Deck Aft Port
This is the view from my bed (which is elevated) in my cabin on the m/v Anastasis out my one port hole – I see straight on the other side of the dock where the m/v Africa Mercy is berthed and in particular the large blue letters ‘AFRICA MERCY’ from my port hole.

Africa Mercy Sailing
This was the Africa Mercy battling the forces on the Bay of Biscay – it was rough – we are praying for the rest of the sail to be smooth. We are expecting her in Africa on the 23rd of this month!!!!
‘Yard’ Sale on the ANA
In preparation for the crew to pack and move to the new ship, the Anastasis had their ‘Yard’ sale in our main dining room as we have no yard. Some people are leaving and so they had many things from their cabin to sell or give away. In the photo is Ines Kronester at her table.
Joseph & Jerome on the Ward
Another ward photo – Jerome is on my right and Joseph on my life. Through our Adopt-A-Patient program, I have ‘adopted’ Joseph and would visit him regularly and Jerome was in the bed next to him and we would also regularly talk. Both of them have returned home and I was able to pray for them before their departures.
Boys on the ward playing the drum
Here are some of the younger boys who were on the hospital ward recovering from their surgeries. Rueben is the one you had face surgery and the other two with surgeries on their hands from burns. It was great to see the difference from their initial days on board and here to this photo as all three were ready to go home. They were playing the african drum for the staff photographer.
