Islands, Friends and Fish


Wow!!! We've just had an AMAZING time in the Faroe Islands! Home to the Logos Hope, the Faroe Islands is a place I didn't even know existed before joining the ship.
Around half of this country's population is christian making it a heaven on earth...
It has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, the people are very friendly and the landscape is breathtaking (one of God's most beautiful handiworks in my opinion).
Being quite tired because of the ministry start of the ship many of us were glad for the change, before arriving we were informed: in the Faroe Islands you will be spoiled! That's exactly what we've been. Pastry donations, Fish donations and visits to the people's houses have been the main blessings. On my last off day I was able to spend the night with Woo Young Jung (South Korea) at some relatives of people on board... We had a great time! We got there on Friday evening, spent the evening with a local youth group (until 1:30 am...) got up late on Saturday and spent the whole day fishing (Woo Young and I have done quite a lot of fishing together in the Faroe Islands, I love it!!!) catching five Cod and a flat fish in the harbour. On Sunday we went to a local Faroese church and had a wonderful meal of Cod (My fish consumption has gone up 98 % since we've arrived) cooked in curry, apples, ognions and bananas! I'm energized and ready to resume work tonight (night shift 00:00 to 08:00) having the three next night watches while sailing to Belfast!
Lately people onboard have been tired because of the lack of people to work on the visitors deck. God has blessed us and has given to the Logos Hope community what it needs to keep going!
May he bless all the Faroese and may they through him keep blessing those around them.
