It’s really
been a great week. Things are going well and we are enjoying life here aboard
the Africa Mercy. The food has been fantastic (though we’ve
been told that we shouldn’t get so used to all the fresh fruit). Our cabin is plenty big and just right for
our family (pictures to come…someday!).
The
ship is preparing to sail to Guinea next week.
We’re looking forward to getting there and meeting up with the rest of
our stuff – the containers we were able to ship things on went straight from the IOC in Texas to Guinea.
he Cash Crew is preparing for school to
start on Tuesday and we’re also preparing to celebrate Caroline’s 6th birthday on
the 17th! Birthday plans include
having everyone in the dining room sing to her (Mercy Ships' tradition, complete
with a bell that gets rung!), throwing water balloons at the Cash men and
eating cake!
We’re thankful
for the kindness and thoughtfulness of God…He's been filling our lives with reminders of His goodness. He’s got good plans for the Cash
Family – and for you and your family.
Surely there
will be more to come!

Hurrah for so many praises! Thanks so much for posting all the pictures. It's so good to see y'all! I didn't think it was possible for Emma to get cuter, but somehow it seems like she has. And happy early birthday to Sweet Caroline!
