That was the day we received this e-mail from the Mercy Ships Academy Chief Administrator, Brian Blackburn, "It looks like the Summer Program for next year will be the month of June only. Starting in Togo and ending after a sail to Tenerife! Interested?" Our thought was, "Oh, man! Yes!" Both Matt and I have wanted to sail on the ship forever - no way did getting gas in Benin count as a sail - but no matter how excited we were, it was not going to work. Sam and Micah did not want to go - Sam has a fence to re-build and Micah wanted to stay home. And no matter how much Matt wanted to go, he would miss two weeks of school - we couldn't do it. So on October 17, we sent our official regrets. And the whine began . . .
