The ship's purser from Africa Mercy is overnighting at Shiloh.  As part of his many administrative duties, he is in the capitol city of Yaounde taking care of paper work.   Operated by Mercy Ships, Africa Mercy is the world's largest civilian hospital ship.  She arrived in the port city of Daoula in late August and will spend ten months here.  In addition to offering free specialized surgeries and health care to the people of Cameroon, she will provide specialized training for a large number of local doctors, nurses, and other medical staff.

The ship's purser, who is from Sierra Leone, has invited us to come and tour his ship.  We would love to do that.  Maybe we can find the time to do so sometime between now and the end of May 2018.  We hope so.
