We sailed away from Trinidad on Wednesday afternoon and arrived in St. Lucia yesterday evening. What a beautiful sail! The water was so blue and so clear! The highlight of the sail for me was seeing dolphins swim alongside the ship and John's highlight was seeing a beautiful rainbow across the whole sky. Thank God for his incredibly beautiful creation.
Trinidad was a fantastic port for us. During our five weeks in port, we had over 96,000 visitors come on board and sold over 320,000 books (an all-time record for OM Ships!). The Trinidadians as a whole love to read, so were anxious to get their hands on as many books as possible! In the book fair, we sold one Bible ever 1.25 minutes. The top sellers were The Five Love Languages, Better English, The Purpose Driven Life, and the World Atlas. Pretty amazing. We also had 64 events on board for locals with almost 5,000 people attending those events. We are so thankful to God for bringing so many visitors to the ship over the past five weeks. Our prayer is that every single one of those people took one step closer to Jesus.
