Trina Laidlaw studied to be a dietician, hoping to land a big job in a fancy hospital, but God had other plans. Working in a rural clinic for almost 10 years meant she learned many skills through seeing a wide range of patients in all stages of life that she wouldnot have in a city hospital. However, Trina worried her rural experience was not enough to volunteer with Mercy Ships — she couldn’t have been more wrong! Now in Sierra Leone for her third field service, Trina is excited to help undernourishedpatients reach their goal weight for a safe surgery. She knows the need is great but is confident in what God will do. In this episode, Trina shares about her journey to Mercy Ships, the new skills she’slearned and the joy of watching lives be transformed both inside and out.
