The Sunset

Monday July 12th
Tomorrow we will finally arrive at our first mission site - a small Indonesian Island called Morotai.  We are in a region that is filled with volcanos so the ocean is too deep to anchor so we will be slowing doing figure 8's in the harbor for the 4 days we will be at this site.  Everyone is so excited to get going after sailing for the past 8 days.  Here is a picture of the Indonesian Naval ship that is escorting us.

We plan to have OR cases tomorrow afternoon.  I am ready to work.  Today was an amazingly beautiful day. The seas this morning looked like glass and the sunset tonight was the best of the trip.  This part of the world is amazing. Weather here is 87 high with 75 low with a heat index of 95.

  1. Hey Melinda, Just spending some time here trying to catch up on all that you've been doing so far!! Sounds like you are thoroughly enjoying yourself!! I know you are excited about getting to help people. I now realize that I need to check this every day so I can keep up better instead of checking every few days so I will do that. Take care and enjoy yourself!! I can't wait to hear about the rest of your adventures. Love ya, Lisa McArthur
