Ready.

As the ship makes its way to Madagascar one nautical mile at a time, one can sense the excitement...the expectancy...the readiness...

After months of maintenance and months of waiting and weeks of sailing (with a few wonderful PR tours thrown into the mixture for good measure), we're ready....

Ready to see this ward transformed back into a place that is filled with love and recovery.  Ready for the smiles, stickers, games of jenga and coloring pages. 
Ready to see these halls filled with nurses in scrubs and patients taking strolls and VVF ladies singing their songs of joy and redemption.
Ready for these mattresses to be made into beds and filled with patients who are preparing for surgery and recovering from surgery (not to mention their wonderful care givers tucked away underneath them).
Ready to look through this porthole and see the miraculous goings on of the ORs...doctors and nurses using their skills, talents and abilities to restore LIFE, HOPE and HEALING to countless beautiful individuals.
Ready to see patients and crew sitting in this sweet spot under the stairs having conversations and working on their physical therapy.
Ready to be the hands, feet, hugs, smiles and love of God to hundreds of Madagasi people.  

Surely there will be more to come.
