Closing the Gateway

Wow! We've come to the end of our Mercy Ships-Gateway training. It's hard to believe that four weeks has come and gone since we began to get to know our classmates and leaders. Now, we are parting ways and feeling like our family is being pulled apart. But, it's only for a season.

This last week of our training was the most physically draining, but looking back on it, a lot of fun! Tuesday was our firefighter training...




Then on Friday, we practiced what we learned in Sea Survival...




Then, this morning, we had a pancake breakfast, debriefed and cleaned our living spaces. In the morning, John and I will begin our 18 hour drive back to North Carolina and our family there. We are very anxious to kiss and squeeze our sweet babies!
