And so sure enough, come July, we heard from them, and then we were there in September. So we decided we’re available in September until the end of the year. But, we had a much more serious conversation about this and asked, when could we do this? And we said, you know, we need a couple months. And then in May, they reached out and said, Hey, can you come in June? And we said, No, there’s too much to coordinate in the next four weeks, we can’t make this happen. And so we’d kind of talked about where we would invest our energy and decided to apply to Mercy Ships, and we’ll see what happens.Īnd if we, you know, are pregnant before then okay, that’s an answer from God that not right now. We also are hoping to have kids, and obviously, if we had kids, then Mercy Ships short-term would not be an option. And then Josh and I got married almost four years ago and we had talked about it here and there. And it’s a lot of logistics to figure out with getting rid of all your stuff or putting your things in storage, so I didn’t go back in 2014. It’s a big step to leave my job that I’d had maybe five years at that point. And I had considered going then and I started the application but never submitted it. Yeah, such a wonderful life experience and opportunity to serve. So I looked into it and thought that it would be amazing. And that’s where I originally heard about Mercy Ships because she had gone and had posted about it. I had a friend through Facebook, who I went to nursing school with. Tell us a little bit how you heard about Mercy Ships and why this was on your heart to go serve. We got to hear from your husband last week and he made it sound a little bit like you were really the impetus in going on this adventure to Mercy Ships because you are a nurse and you had heard about Mercy Ships many years ago.
