By popular demand: our house in Ndop!

Thanks for asking to see our house. It is not done as we are adding necessities and finishing touches very slow. For instance, we have no power except by generator a few hours each night. So, that eliminates washing machine and refrigerator for now. We have learned to live without quite a few things! We are hoping to get some Cameroonian furniture for our parlor as well as material for curtains and such. Here are some pictures of the various rooms and angles of the house outside.

Study...custom made bookshelves and ceiling. Our carpenters do a great job! They are making the desk for this study now and also the benches for the new church.

Our bedroom (same wood ceiling as the study).

Thanks...it all looks so nice!! Can't wait to come see it firsthand. I know you have done so much and hope the rest gets done soon so you can feel settled and at home.I really liked the libray and the kitchen. I'm sorry but we sure got a laugh out of the destroyed cow. Can't even count how times something like happened around here through the years!! Give the stinkers a hug and kiss from Grammie and Grandad. Miss and love you all. Mom
