Welcome to Jackie's Blog

I'm so excited to be traveling to Freetown, Sierra Leone to serve on Mercy Ships as admin. to the medical staff on board the Africa Mercy. Many of you have asked me to post a blog of my journey; I'll try to keep you updated as best I can. I will miss you all and thank you for your prayers!

A Day at the Beach!

 
Got to know each other really well!





Things have been so hectic...so much to do and so little time. I feel like life here is a cross between the Navy and summer camp! We finally had a much needed break and headed to the beach.  We were transported in 12 passenger buses (called poda-poda's). The picture says it all...we crammed 20 people in the poda-poda and drove two hours over terrain far worse than any logging road I've been on. But, it was all worth it! The beach was beautiful the water was warm and we ordered lobster from a local restaurant (however, it may have been a mistake to tour the kitchen!)
The chef!
