A quick hello!

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd just say hi to everyone. Sorry for not having sent an update recently... there isn't much to update.

We are nearing the end of our Ghana outreach and had a departmental debriefing on Friday afternoon. Was quite interesting...

I have been ill with a head cold for over a week now, so have been taking this weekend just to relax and try and get over it (it out of my system). I am definitely feeling better.

We have a new South African girl in our accounting department and I am currently training her to be the new crew banker.

Helen & I have signed up for a new patient to "adopt". Will see what happens... watch this space (as they say...hehehe)!

I am in search of a flight back home early April and one of the travel agents Mercy Ships uses all the time (ARKE - based in Rotterdam, Holland) has found one within budget... but the first part of the flight still needs to be sorted out on the luggage side. Please pray for that (and that we do not lose the booking - or otherwise get an even better flight option with no baggage worries)!

Yes, I am still enjoying it here on the Anastasis, but am missing family and friends a lot!

At the moment I am planning to go stay in Cape Town when I come back to SA, but have had quite a few requests to come back and visit with people in George before I move... so will just have to make a plan!

Ok, I am gonna be really open here... and ask a question that I want an honest - your opinion - answer to!

The question: When you think of me, what comes to mind?

Please be open an honest!

Once again, thanks for all the support I have received thus far! I really appreciate everyone!

Love,
Mathilda
