Hannah has been working hard.. but not nursing.. As there is currently no hospital up and running (as we are still in Tenerife before sailing to Guinea in a weeks time) she has been working in the Stewards department. The Stewards department takes care of cleaning the communal areas, hallways, crew kitchen, public bathrooms etc on the ship. This is pretty hard graft and although at face value not the most glamourous jobs, it is maybe one of the most important. It is these seemingly 'unimportant' job that actually end up being filled by people that serve hard and in the background.
It is only temporary, Hannah will be back nursing very soon.
While my wife spends her days scrubbing hard I seem to have ended up mostly behind a desk.
The Principal handover started as soon as we arrived and I have been truly blessed by the willingness walk me through the countless process that have always gone unnoticed by me as teaching staff.
We continue to ask for your prayers as we plug into our respective position and rediscover what makes this vessel run again.
I know God answers prayer, and therefore I know you are all held in His hands.
God bless,
Ben
And just cause you should know by now that I'm a lyrics person, this is the one that stuck with me this week:
"And God let us be
A generation that seeks-
That seeks your face
Oh God of Jacob
And God let us be
A generation that seeks-
That seeks your face
Oh God of Jacob"
"Give Us Clean Hands" by MercyMe
