There are about 4U children who are travelling with their parents, and the four schools on the ship are designed for them. Carolyn has three roommates all of whom speak Dutch. Her slight knowledge of Dutch is helping helping her communicate, and she rapidly is picking up more. In order to go on the two- year mission, Carolyn had to raise her own support: $1,500 initially and $500 each month thereafter. She is being supported by three churches and by numerous individuals. Her mother adds, "it's amazing how many people are for this and have helped financially." Before stepping onto The Doulos for the first time, Carolyn had absolutely no shipping experience. She quickly learned that she is prone to seasickness. Luckily ner mother had sent along a ginger-root concoction which seems to settle her stomach when the waves rock the ship to and fro. Having set out in the summer of 1988, Carolyn will not arrive back in Canada Canada until the summer of 1990. Tliere is no break in the Doulos Doulos schedule, but Carolyn is thrilled to be serving the Lord, and seeing the world in such an exciting fashion.

In each letter Carolyn asks for the prayers of her family and friends to strengthen her faith, as she trusts God to watch over the Doulos and to perform miracles miracles of the kind she already has witnessed.
