Jolting on the Roads

A day in the life of a missionary not only includes soaring with the clouds (see below post) but also in coming back to earth and jolting on the terrible roads.  I had the privilege in the second half of my day to help transport people from Babungo and Ndop to Camp Joy.  Please pray for them all that this week some would be saved and others make decisions of surrender and service.  I thought I'd include pictures of the roads that we drive and the sites that we see every day here in Cameroon!  Hope you enjoy!
This is the view on the way to Camp Joy from Ndop

This is the view coming down from Camp Joy entering Bamessing

This is the next village after Bamessing, the village Bamali

This is right after Bamali, our town of Ndop.  The mountain peak is called Ngoketunjia
This is our church on the right and the sign board there in blue
Ndop town, a cosmopolitan town...people from all over Cameroon live in our town of 26,000.

Getting out to Mile 27, rural Ndop closer to our house

My beloved keeping me going in between camp runs!

I picked up Elena who hardly ever refuses a chance to go to Babungo
The Road to Babungo


The house where we have our Sunday afternoon Bible study in Babungo.  There will be four ladies at Camp Joy this year from here. 

Looks like Illinois...except for the those palm trees in the middle there :)
Elena was enthralled with the tiger that was "watching us" on the back of this van
Back to Ndop from Babungo
Its always a fun time coming home!
An awesome dinner with hamburgers and homemade buns!

Oops, forgot to rotate the picture...Elias saying cheese for the camera while eating the cheese off of his hamburger.
She's not camera shy!

She is!

BED TIME!!!
Notice the four planes he is sleeping with!
A day in the life sure tires us all out...good night!!

aw....so sweet when sleeping....and sometimes when awake! nice pics...and I've seen many of those sights. Our corn is so tall here in Ill. but we are having the hottest summner in 15 years. Our a.c. is getting a work out and so is dad!! He seems to know when to take a break and get out of it for awhile. He misses his oldest son who was such a great helper all those summers! But we are thankful to see you serving God in Cameroon. Praying for all of you. Love, Mom
