m/v Africa Mercy update no. 1 - 05-08-05

hey there guys/gals.

Well I am finally in Newcastle. Got here about 2 hours ago.

Nothing like I'd expected. the Ship is huge. I get to go on it monday. The dock is ... well....it's not like a day at the office which is what I am used to.

Getting kinda emotional now I have landed here and realised what I have left. Have already considered moving back 3 times since being here.

The flat I am staying in is lush. I am sharing it with a middle aged american couple called Susan and Robert. Not met Robert yet but Susan seems really great.

They are cooking me a meal tonight with some other Mercy Ships older couple who also seem really great called Kevin and ....... Err. someone. Not good around adults so this could be interesting. I will hopefully remember names as I have been introduced to about 20 people today and I think I only remember 4 names.

So here it all goes. 3 months (and hopefully more) of Mercy Ships - my big expedition starts here. Please keep us in prayer if you are of the praying orientation, it'll be really appreciated.
If you know of anyone who wants to be part of these email updates then please send me their email address and I'll keep them updated too. If you don't want to recieve these emails then please tell me and I will quit annoying you.

My Address for the next 3 months will be:
60 Gladstone Road
Hebburn
Tyne and Wear
NE31 2XD
and mobile is still (well you'll have to join my email list and ask)

Time to take Kassie for a drive and see whats around. Or I could go for a walk. Hmmm nah!
Keep safe bruvas and sisters
