Farewell Tenerife

At 2pm today we slipped our moorings and sailed into the open sea on a heading south west en route for Monrovia, Liberia. We are currently sailing in choppy seas along the south coast of the Tenerife, and soon we will be able to see the airport and Los Christianos. We have had a wonderful few weeks, and have all put on a few pounds I'm sure. We have enjoyed every minute of our time spent with the Brits in Silencio Christian Fellowship and South Tenerife Christian Fellowship - they are doing great work with the British community over here, and we wish them every success over the next year until we return, we hope, at the end of 2008. And so in 6 days we will have returned to Monrovia, a land with no playgrounds or neat parks for the kids to play in, and no shops or pavement cafes to explore or hang out in. The next ten months will be very hard work, and that in itself has made our time in Tenerife all the more special. Olly

We wish you well for the next 10 months. Have a safe journey and remember we will be thinking and praying for you all. It was good to spend time with you all in Silencio and on the ship.
God Bless.
