Goodbye Chapman family

Yesterday the Chapman family left the Africa Mercy, to spend the next four months in the USA raising funds before returning to Liberia next April to open a dental clinic. Noah and Anna have grown up with Lauren and Taylor since late 2003 when we first met in Texas, and more recently Samuel and Libby too. We are very sad that they have left the ship, but our return to Liberia next year means we will be able to see them again fairly regularly until we leave Liberia for good in late 2008. Olly
