Life on Logos 2



We have now been living on Logos 2 for a week.
We had never planned to live here, but due to the delays in Logos Hope sailing, we find ourselves onboard for the last weeks of Logos 2's life as an OM ship.
The Logos 2 is very full of people waiting. Every cabin onboard is taken and we are just amazed at how a couple have lived in this room for 2 years. You can nearly stand in the middle and touch all 4 walls. We know this isn't home but we are now in our 10th bed since leaving home so we really want to be able to finally settle onboard Logos Hope.
After the wonderful food on LH we are also struggling a bit with the food onboard.





But there are some very positive things about this time. We are getting to know many of the people that we will be living with over the coming months and years. The worship on board is lively and vibrant and there is often fun and laughter onboard.
This week, many of the ships company are involved in a game where they are trying to secretly kill off one another. You can poison someone by putting a sticker in their food, or on the bottom of a plate or cup. You can kill with a kiss on the cheek and you can stab someone by placing a sticker on their back. Every meal time there are screams in the dining room as someone else gets "killed"

The kids started school again on Monday and are enjoying life on board very much. We never see them between meal times, they are always playing somewhere with friends. This may be good for them but makes it hard to have any family life.

I (Steve) am very busy preparing for next weeks move to Logos Hope. It will be a crazy time.
Heather has no role onboard which she finds difficult.

Kiel is very cold and grey. I think we have seen the sun once in a week.



Tomorrow ( Thursday) is Heather's birthday. Hopefully we can find a nice Italian restaurant for dinner.
