What a WONDERFUL time....
Hey everyone!
I wanted to write really quickly so that you don't think that we've dropped off the face of the planet...However, I have pretty much dropped off facebook! :) Haha! I am so thankful to be able to get emails and to be able to receive phone calls while in West Africa!!!!
A brief recap....
On Friday, a week ago, I worked half a day with my roomie, Emily, and then we set off on our adventure! :) We were planning on taking a Tro-Tro to the Airport in Accra, to go pick mom and dad up! :) I think the suspected that I would show up, but i never told them for sure! It was so exciting to finally arrive at the airport, and wait for Mom and Dad! :) While at the airport, we met up with Jimmy and Sylvia again! :) I also met a few people from TN, and LA who are working here in Ghana. We made it back to the ship with all the luggage! Wow...
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for ALL the goodies that y'all sent with mom and dad! I appreciate it so much!! What a blessing y'all are to me. I am so thankful!
On Saturday, I worked in the laundry, and mom and dad helped! We had a great time. It has been fun introducing mom and dad to all my friends here on the ship! It's kinda crazy, the fact that my two homes have collided! :) It's very exciting that mom and dad are here, but at the same time, its weird! :)
On Sunday, we went to church here on the ship, and Jimmy and Sylvia joined us! We had a great time of fellowship, and then had lunch with them. Sunday afternoon, we walked around Tema a little bit.
On Monday and Tuesday we worked, then Wednesday, was really exciting! Mom, Dad, Isabel and I traveled 2 hours each way to Rosewood School. It was an awesome time with the kids. We did the Ship Presentation, sang songs, shared the gospel, and played games with the kids. Surprisingly, the kids had prepared some poems and songs to share with us as well. It was such a blessing!
Please be praying for Dad...He isn't feeling the greatest. We will have another E-day on Sunday! I am sooo excited---We will be going to a Deaf Church with Jessica, my big sister. :) Woo Hoo!
I will try to post more, but as always, email and phone is the most reliable form of communication with us.
We are praying for everyone at MVBC, and Barry Smith and family. Praying that God's grace and peace will be an overwhelming comfort in these hard days.
Have a great evening! :) I am so thankful for y'all!
For His Glory and Renown,
Bethany

Hello from Tema Ghana!
Hey Everyone!!!
Alot has happened since I last posted on my blog! Sorry about that! :)
Since the last time I posted, we have spent about 2 weeks or so in Sierra Leone, sailed 5 days to Tema, Ghana, and have been here for 3 days!!
I had some really great conversations with people in Sierra Leone. We saw many people come to know Jesus in a personal way, it was AWESOME!!! I had 2 e-days while we were in Freetown, one was going to different sites around the town and sharing our testimonies and praying with people, then other, was on deck 4! Here are two pictures from both of them!
This was a picture taken as we were sailing out of Sierra Leone!
Since then, I had a visit with Uncle Andy Norman, here on the ship in Tema, Ghana! :) That was such a blessing to meet 3 others who live here in Ghana, and are faithfully serving the Lord here! We had a great time of exploring the ship, and I had the privilege of sharing more about what the Ship is all about! :)
What is amazing, is that I get to show 2 more people around the ship on FRIDAY!!!! I am so excited, mom and dad will be coming to experience ship life for a couple weeks, and to minister to and with the crew here! Daddy will be speaking in devotions a couple of times, and they will be working in different departments! Please pray for safe arrival and everything to go smoothly! :)
I hope y'all have an amazing day! Please email me if there is any way that I can be praying for you more specifically! I thank Jesus for you daily!
For His Glory and Renown,
Bethany

Sierra Leone!
Hey Everyone! I am so thankful to report that we have arrived in Sierra Leone! :) We came into port around 10:45 am or so....(6:45am for you people at home!) I am now 4 hours ahead of you!
I am also proud to annouce that I made Baked Oatmeal this morning! :) Haha! It was alot of fun, and it was yummy! It is so nice to be cooking again...I've missed it.
As I prepare to serve the Lord here in Sierra Leone, please pray that I will love with Christ's love. Pray that my heart will be in tune to what God wants to say to me, and that I will be sensitive to His prompting in my life.
Thank you so much for praying for me. I work Tuesday and Wednesday, and have an E-Day Thursday! I am excited to see what I will be doing.

Hello from Roseau, Dominica!
Hey Everyone!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for those of you that prayed for me while I was away from the ship on the Challenge Team! It was an AMAZING time of growth, challenge, learning, fun, excitement, building relationships, and SO many other things! :)
I cannot believe this, but the Logos Hope is open for ONE MORE DAY in Dominica.....and only ONE MORE DAY in the Caribbean! We will be sailing to West Africa on Monday!
Please pray for smooth seas, and an amazing time of fellowship and growth as a community, and as individuals!
Be watching you mailboxes, there will be a summary from my first 5 months....coming to a mailbox near you! :) Haha! (Don't hold your breath though, because I am not so sure as to how soon you will get it!) 
(This picture is actually from St. Kitts!) I was going for a walk one morning in St. Kitts, and I was kidnapped by some AMAZING Asians!!! :)

Goodbye Antigua, Hello St. Kitts!
Hey Everyone! I am so ashamed to say that I did not post one blog from Antigua! We had a fantastic 2 weeks there in St. Johns. We left Antigua around Midnight on the 12th and arrived in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis around 6:30 am Thursday(13th).
The city of Basseterre skirts a 2-mile bay on the southwestern shore of St. Kitts, Basseterre Bay. The city lies within the large Basseterre Valley, Almost completely surrounded by lust green hills and mountains. (wikipedia)

Hello from Hamilton, Bermuda!
Hey Everyone!!!
I am so thrilled to let you know that we arrived safely in Bermuda about a week ago. We have one more week left here in this beautiful country. I am so excited also......to let y'all know that I did not get seasick during this 4 day voyage!!! Praise the Lord!
After we arrived in Hamilton, I had the rest of the day off, so 2 of my roomies and I went out to explore! This us Juki from Germany and Emily from Michigan! They are awesome! (And so is Rorie from France, even though she wasn't in this picture!!)
This port has been fairly quiet so far, with some nice opportunities to really relax and have some great conversations without feeling rushed!
I had the awesome privilege to worship with Cornerstone Bible Fellowship this past Sunday. It was such a "God-thing"!!! Honestly, this past Saturday night was a little difficult for me, I was just really missing home, and things/people/anything really that was familiar to me. I signed up to attend church this Sunday, and was questioning whether I really wanted to go or not. I decided that it would be a good experience for me, so I went! Boy am I glad I did! It was such a blessing to worship with them. Their Choir sang, "My Help" by Brooklyn Tab Choir. That is definitely what I needed to hear Sunday. I am so thankful for the way God used the song service especially to really help me get my focus back to where it should be.
Today was my E-day, so this morning, I went to the Staff Devotions at Cornerstone. It was a blessing to be able to be apart of that this morning, and just see first hand the heartbeat of the church. After devotions, we went to a little cafe across the street from the church and had breakfast/lunch! :) After we came back to the ship, we were on Deck 4 from 12-3, connecting with visitors. Honestly, today, there were not many visitors at all. I was able to chat with a few people, but not many.
This evening, I had the awesome opportunity to go out and explore the island a little with a local volunteer. Veronica and her husband have lived here in Bermuda for a little over a year. She is taking time these two weeks to volunteer in the book fair. It has been such a blessing to get to know her. Tonight, we went to Horseshoe Bay Beach. It was So beautiful.
