YIKES!
I had been doing my best to avoid the respiratory bug and stomach bug that has been circling inside the ship, but alas, I have been caught. I am down for the count. No stomach bug at this time, just a cold, aches, sore throat, and cough. I praise God I have medicine to take to ease my discomfort. I am also thankful that I have a comfortable bed to rest and sleep in. I am not so sure my roommate appreciates how much I have been sleeping because apparently, I have been doing some impressive snoring related to my respiratory illness and I coughed for almost an hour straight last night, from 4:00am- 5:00am. Yikes!
Please pray for the rest of the crew as these bugs take their toll on us. Many of the hospital staff are feeling frustrated because a few weeks ago we didn't have enough surgeons on the ship to perform operations, so the nurses were getting extra shifts off, now we have so many ill nurses we are actually having to cancel surgeries because there are not enough healthy nurses to care for all our patients.
Please support us in prayer.

Dear Great Physician,
Please give your healing to the ship's crew on Africa Mercy, protect those who have not become ill from succumbing to the bugs going around, helping them to put into practice the best ways to prevent further spread of the illnesses. Please show your power in restraining the forces of evil that would want nothing more than the ministry of Mercy Ships to be thwarted. May Your Kingdom prevail and receive the Honor and Glory for Your work accomplished in the lives of patients and crew. Amen!
We will be praying. It's good to have specific prayer requests, so we can focus more specifically on your needs. God Bless!
Hi Bunny - Hope you are on the mend. Been thru so much yuk myself I can relate. The prayer group at the city hall prays for you. Cool.
I had a dream about you the other night. You were 27 but looked like a mid teen but you were already a nurse in Africa. Never thought I would write that sentence. You were on a furlough of sorts.
Take care, Love you Aunt Joy
PS Did you find someone special to give the towel to?
