Bye Bye Liberia. At 14:25 on the 12th December the m/v Africa Mercy pulled away from the LNP Fishing Pier in Freeport, Monrovia and headed for the open sea. So many memories, so many prayers, so many tears, and of course goodbyes! Our final goodbye for the orphange children was to have them visit the ship. It was incredible to see even the older children struggle to be confident on the stairs - they aren't used to them! We gave them a tour of the ship and then asked which was their favourite part - the older ones, who are responsible for chores, said the washing machines and or the toilets.....basic things we take for granted would revolutionise their living conditions. We also said goodbye to our friend Pastor Charles and his wife Courage. It was particularly sad as just the week before Charles's eldest daughter died suddenly - no on knows why. there is no way of knowing - this is daily life in Liberia.
