Every Friday night is open ship night and last week was Australian themed, so there were Aussie flags and Vegemite and thongs and green and gold. I wore my board shorts and t-shirt, sunnies, thongs and zinc cream and directed people up the stairs. I also took part in a game where three people had to make human sculptures of Australian landmarks - the Germans scored more applause somehow... At the end Meg and I were talking to a German man who had kind of shaky hands, as the conversation went on it became apparent that he had some sort of mental ailment. He was a Christian but he was going through some struggles and our listening ear and some of Meg's words were a great comfort to him and we got to pray with him (though he was certain to mention he didn't want us to touch him) and he felt a lot better when he had been prayed for and talked to and left the ship. So there's some small way in which I was able to help reach out to people on the ship.
Sorry there were no pictures :-(
