Life outside of work hours

Just wanted to send through some pics of life here outside of work hours. We are pretty busy during the week so we try and get off the ship as much as possible to restore some of our sanity as it’s a small ship at times and it’s a good to get your feet on flat ground. So here are some of the highlights and lowlights thus far.

Highlights

Putting together a Glee dance video for our mercy ships film festival (check it out here)
Lots of sport



















Local transportation


















Sweet sunsets everyday
Having a nice pool down the road to do flips in














Good friends

Having the president of Togo come to the ship














Lots of camping, fire, drums and dancing with local
Jumping off massive sand dunes



















Winning best poser in a mercy ships dance off comp
Cramming 6+ people into one bunk to watch a movie














Camping with the locals and helping them prepare rat stew














Drum lessons














Sweet waterfalls














Long road trips and killing time














Awesome beaches












And now for some Low lights
Practice fire drills every second Thursday












2 minute showers
8 washing machines for 400 staff
Top bunk
Having an unreliable 30 year old van for transportation














Having to pole vault across a river














getting stuck in the middle of a tour de Togo cycling race














sleeping whenever you get the chance because there is always something going on










Hope you have enjoyed a little insight into life outside of our work day
God bless
