Follow the adventures of our family around the world

March 18, 2006  Today is Saturday, although it is not my day to be on call, I still had to spend some time on the ward doing rounds on our plastic patients.  So what do you do on Saturday? The school on the ship is donating furniture to the orphanage we work with, so Mark was working on that this morning. It has been such a busy week. So last week HR on the ship is telling people that we really need to think about getting our tickets to go home because flights are getting full for the summer. Tuesday night I must have sent 10 or 12 emails back and forth with the travel agent trying to figure out details and finally gave up around 1130pm because I forgot what I was doing. I had my credit card in hand and just decided to wait. Wednesday morning we were all shocked to get an email that said if you have not bought tickets DON'T, the ship may not be going to Ghana. We were all shocked to say the least, some people were angry. I was just grateful that the Lord gave me one more day and I had not spent the money yet. Then on Thursday night we were told to try to make reservations but don't pay for the flights yet, we may still go to Ghana. Oh well we may go to Ghana, we may go to Europe, who knows today. We have about 2 months until we leave Liberia but we don't know where we are going. We are trying to be so patient and not to get anxious.  But today I realize that at some point we need to know where we will be so that we can make plans, the options are too far apart to think anything will work no matter what. So we wait. We do know that we hope to be home some time in June, we just don't know where we will be coming from or the exact details at this point. It has been a long emotional week. We will just wait to see what happens.  This week the girls went on a field trip to get ice cream. This is a photo of them together.....
