Firsts
Today I experienced a "first". I don't normally keep track of them and they seem to happen pretty often with people on the ship, but I couldn't get over it today at work. Last week a phone conference was organized between the two Mercy Ships offices that I order from and myself on the ship. This afternoon at 3:00 I got a call from the Texas office (where it was 9 AM) and we were then connected to the Dutch office (where it was 4:00 PM). So not only was it my first ever conference call, but were were all in different countries.
We went on to talk about some of the food/snack items that we order and how we can best maximize out inventory and ordering. As a direct result of the conversation we will be getting our Pringles from the Dutch container witch allows for more room on the Texas container but it also enables us to offer fresher product because of the shorter transportation. We will also be looking for more international foods that we can do this with.
Today I also got to approve my first future "employee". A lady from the Southwest U.S. has gone through the application process and i approved her to work in Sales as long as the rest of her application/fundraising goes through.
I'm hoping to get some pictures of the shop for you soon. I will also be posting some great pictures from a recent Christmas Photo-booth.

World Wide Web
Mercy Ships has released it's new website. I know several people that have put a lot of work into this project and they should be very happy because it looks AMAZING! Take a look for yourself at www.mercyships.org or click on the picture below.
One reason they've been working so hard to get it going is because Mercy Ships is going to be on 60 minutes soon! They are predicting the spot to show sometime between now and Christmas, so keep watch and see when 60 minutes will be airing wherever you live.

Newsflash!
Hey Everybody!
I just wanted to get the word out, It's been a couple of weeks now but I haven't made time to blog and pass the word on to you. I'm currently serving as the Sales Manager here in the Africa Mercy. I have the opportunity to lead 4 other crew members and operate the Ship Shop, Starbucks Cafe, & Snack Bar. It's been really amazing to see how God has gotten me ready for this position over the past years of my life.
My position is in charge of ordering all goods to be sold from the shop; toiletries, personal office supplies, Mercy Ships clothing & logo items, groceries, snacks, and local African souvenirs. Receiving them from the containers, managing our storerooms and running the different outlets on a daily basis.
This week we are in the process of receiving & processing goods from two containers, doing the November inventory, ordering for the months of March, April & May.... AND serving our crew-members during break-times and evening shifts.
Over the next few weeks I'll dive into the other things that entail the Sales Staff and showing you more about what God is doing in my life here with Mercy Ships.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and want to encourage you to pass on some wonderful Christmas cheer as we get closer to the day that we celebrate Christ coming to the Earth for us.
