The Africa Mercy arrives in Lome, Togo!











We pulled into Lome today, my students wreathed in smiles. Sailing is fun, but after 10 days we were ready for land again.

It was one of the smoothest arrivals and moorings I've ever seen us do. The local churches came out to greet us with a band and song and laughter. It was fun!
I thank God for so many answers to prayer during the sail and in the set-up that my friends Joan and Brenda had to do over the holidays...
The blessed port authority are so caring of us. They brought in containers and blocked off our section of the pier so we could come and go safely. This is a very busy port! Not only that, but they are assigning a port guard for our entrance to the container-sectioned pier to keep things quiet. We are so grateful!
