The Reports are Done!

Just a few quick updates. First, I just finished the two reports I've been working on for the past 3 months, the Mercy Ships Hospital Assessment and Namibian Structural Design. The process f0r closing out a report is quite extensive. Every person involved with the report gets a copy of the report, as well as two copies for the home office and three for the ministry. So all in all, I printed, bound and mailed about 20 reports. Here's a little look at the process!

The reports need to be printed and bound. I spent a full afternoon just printing sheet after sheet, about 1500 sheets in all. After compiling all the sheets in order, I punched holes in all the sheets and bound them up.

And here's the result! Pretty cover sheet, huh?

All packed up and ready to ship out to the trip volunteers and Mercy Ships!

And that's that for the report! It's all out of our hands now and Mercy Ships is doing their thing with it.

Looking forward, it appears that eMi will not be going to Guinea this February. Mercy Ships has evaluated the political climate in the country, and due to delayed elections, protests and violence in the capital of Conakry are highly likely. Because of this, eMi will be evaluating three hospitals in the countryside of Sierra Leone. However, this trip will be overlapping with prior commitments in the states, so I won't be able to join the team on that trip. But, I am spending the last three weeks I have here working on that trip, preparing documents and templates to hopefully make this trip and future hospital assessment trips more efficient and accurate.

I am a little bummed I won't be able to return to West Africa in February, but I'm confident the work God has me doing in Colorado will make an impact none-the-less.

Thanks for reading and joining with me in this journey!
