  3. Thank you for your blog!

    My son will be joining the Africa Mercy—he flies home from Gateway tomorrow and flies to Benin on March 9th. Since he’s my only son (my only kid) and will spend his next 12 months on the other side of the world, I’m devouring (and grateful) for blogs like yours that give me a picture of life on board and let me get a glimpse of the wonderful new family that Ryan will have.

    Blessings to you, and thank you for posting!

    PS—I’ve started a Facebook group called Moms of (Africa) Mercy Ship-ers, aka Moms of Crazy Kids Who Live on a Ship in Africa (the aka name coined by the members of my son’s Gateway class). If you have a mom that would like to join us, just send me her email address.
