Praise the Lord I have arrived in London!!! I have a 12 hr layover so I called my friend in London and asked if she would come pick me up for the day so we can hang out. It's great having friends all over the world:) I figure seeing some sites in London is better then sitting in an airport, which I will be doing enough of in the next 24-36 hrs anyways:) The transatlantic flight was good. The time actually went quit fast, praise the Lord.
I started reading the book of Romans while I was flying. It's one of my favorite books in the bible. My verse of encouragement was 1:16 "For I am NOT ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. " My prayer is that as I go into Liberia that I will remember that the gospel truly is the "power of God for salvation."
So many thought and feelings have gone through my mind in the last few days.... excitement, uncertainty, joy, sadness.... My prayer has been that the transition will be smooth and that I will adjust quickly to life and service aboard the Africa Mercy. I would appreciate your agreement with this prayer as well.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all!!
