This is the Africa Mercy Biomedical Technician dream team! Need a piece of broken medical equipment fixed? We're your guys! The team members include (from left) Carlos, Ned and Marla. Ned is a bit quiet, but the other two are loud enough to make up for him.
And this is our territory: the Biomedical Technician Office. Note Ned's lack of a left leg. This may explain why he has not been very helpful these last few days.
...So this is where I spend most of my working hours. My time here has been such an unexpected blessing! Having had minimal hands-on technical training in the past, I initially felt very unequipped for the job. But I was reminded that the Lord called me to this particular position for a reason, His thoughts are higher than my thoughts, and He equips us with all that we need to accomplish His purposes. And the Lord has indeed been faithfully providing for me in this position. By God's grace I even fixed my first broken medical device yesterday! It was actually really fun to pull it apart, identify and repair the broken bit and put it all back together again. Resources are scarce on this ship and virtually non-existent on land, so we have to be very resourceful in our repairs. I have been particularly blessed by Carlos, the head biomedical technician. (actually, he's the real biomed tech; I'm just an assistant) He's been super patient, helpful and kind and has taught me tons about the medical devices and how to fix them. Ned has been less helpful but has provided a good listening ear if I need to talk.
