We are arriving in Malta
So cool to be on the same island that the apostle Paul was on!
Today we got to perform on stage for some locals! My friends and I made up a dance routine and got to perform the dance! Even though it was out of our comfort zones for some of us we had a great time performing and fellow shipping with each other. Ceuta (location)
We had a ministry day where we went out to invite people to the ship. Different dance groups on the ship went out to the streets to dance and handout flyers to get people to come to the ship! ๐ข๐ข๐๐ Ceuta
Some ship fun! This was after our Sabbath week. We had some ship community time.

And for the final part of our outing day we got a tour of Sevilla! Europe has some beautiful architecture ๐ฐ ๐บ๐
We had Sabbath week this week and it is almost coming to an end. Today is an outing day and since we are too big of a group to have out in Sevilla ๐ช๐ธ they split us into different groups. Today is my groups day and we started with a concert and then later on at lunch time we will get a tour of the city of Sevilla ๐๐ฐ๐๐ช๐ธ
We are arriving in Seville Spain ๐ช๐ธ ๐๐
On June 9th we will send our lineup team to prepare for our next port in Albania ๐ฆ๐ฑ
"After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb."

More Dry Dock snap shots
Our Ship Security Officer is Romanian and he meet another man who was also Romanian. The man was so excited to meet another romanian that he gave us free tickets to see an Orchestra play. Sadly we weren't allowed to record, but it was a fun evening anyways. Haha it's so cool how excited people get when you are from the same country ๐ ๐ป ๐บ ๐ถ
Some random snap shots during drydock. We will finally get the ship painted this year ๐๐
The ship is now out of the water and we are preparing to do our full maintenance of the ship. There are about 500 jobs that will need to be completed before dry dock is over!
We had George Verwer, founder of OM, visit the ship! He spoke a bit on the need for people to join global missions. Ships Company was happy to have him visit! His eagerness to bring the gospel to the nations is inspiring! This man has been dedicated to his ministry for decades! I am grateful for how God used George because I got to share the gospel in unique ways and have gotten to make some of my closest friends through OM. It's so cool to see the generations of families who've worked in OM! I hope it continues until Jesus returns!
Laying down floor coverings for Dry Dock. Each year the ship is lifted out of the water for maintenance of the entire ship. It's a 1month long project and those essential to the work stay on board while the rest of Ships Company does ministry onshore. I was doing ministry onshore last year and did not participate in Dry Dock. This year will be my first DryDock! I am looking forward to it! People really loved it last year. The work was hard but the community was great!
Some snapshots of Las Palmas Spain
Last Good Friday and Easter on Board! This is a service all Ships Company looks forward to each year. We started the Easter Service at 7am and ended with a 10am brunch. Between the service and brunch we take a photo as Ship's Company to wish everyone a Happy Easter

Maintenance Photos
On board I work as a plumber. My department is called engine but within engine we also have the Electrician team and Maintenance team. On the Maintenance team we have Welders, , Carpenters, Plumbers, and HVAC ( Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.)
My first department was an all woman's department and now I work on a team with all men ๐
First full day in Las Palmas and we get to go on a ministry day ๐๐๐ We are visiting a place where they are hosting refugees from African countries. We are hearing some of their stories and helping out where we can. The voyage some of them have taken to get here in Las Palmas is incredible!! I am trying to not post their faces for their own privacy
Our Arrival last night, we arrived around 20:00 yesterday
We said goodbye to Liberia/West Africa and entered Las Palmas. The weather became quite cool and windy but we are still excited to be here, ven though we have to adjust from the sunny weather of the Caribbean and West Africa.
We left Liberia but before we left I got to do a very special thing thanks to my family โคโคโค The children from my grandparents mission school they built in Liberia got to come and visit the Bookfair โค The kids were so excited to pickout their own books and come and visit the ship โคโค It was a great way we could show the kids that they were loved and cared for by both my grandparents who have now gone home to Heaven. It was a beautiful way to say goodbye to my birth country and honor my grandparents. God really used them to bless this country in many ways and we are so grateful for that โคโคโค๐
