This month I want to celebrate the holiday that is most belittled.
Thanksgiving
So starting today, a day late, I'm going to be posting something everyday telling what I'm thankful for.
Day #1
I'm thankful for the many people that I serve on the Africa Mercy with. They are my family have made this place into what I like to call home. It will be a sad day when I leave, but I know the friendships formed will last a lifetime. Below are a few of their blogs. Check them out to get a different perspective of serving with Mercy Ships.
