After almost an entire month of training the new group joining Logos Hope, known as PST Birkedal finally received our job assignments on Wednesday. We have all been waiting for this day for a long time. Not everyone was placed in their first choice of a job but everyone seemed pretty happy to finally be working on the ship. I am officially a galley girl. I will be spending my days in the kitchen and dining hall cleaning, doing dishes, and helping prepare the meals for all of ships company. Yesterday I helped get some food ready for a fancy dinner they had onboard this evening which included making 10 gallons of caesar salad dressing and some homemade ice cream, both turned out quite delicious! I had a very encouraging conversation with the executive chef my first night of work. He had asked me what I was doing before coming to the ship and I shared with him that I had been working as a shift manager at Starbucks for the last 2 ½ years, to which he replied “would you be interested in working at the I-Café onboard?” The I-Café is our onboard coffee shop that is used when in ministry. It’s not open except for special occasions right now, but once we set sail it will be open just about everyday. I was very excited about this opportunity and told him I would love to work in the café instead. Would appreciate your prayers for that to come together for me. He said he thought I could count on getting the job; it was just a matter of timing. Yah!! Until then I will enjoy the time I have in the galley. It’s a fun team of people to work with and a fairly laid back atmosphere. We get to listen to music and often sing and dance along to the song as we prepare the food. So far most of ship life is a blast!

I've been waiting to hear what job you got. I know you'll enjoy it! Today Grace turned 2. Hard to believe. We put her in a regular bed 2 nights ago. She loves it!! Wish you were here to celebrate with us on Sunday, but you'll be in our thoughts. I'll have to post pics on my blog, so watch for them. :)
