Before this trip I prayed for boldness. Boldness to step out of my comfort zone. Boldness to share my faith. So at about 10pm last night when I heard some drumming off in the distance I decided to be bold and find out what was going on. I grabbed my camera and started walking in […]
Photo of the Day
I take many photos during the day and try to sort through them all in the evening – deleting the bad ones, flagging the good ones. I’m going to try to post a favorite from each day that I take photos. The beauty of photography is that it captures a real moment – a real […]
110 or 220?
In the same way the US hangs on to feet and pounds when the rest of the world uses meters and kilograms, the US has a different voltage of electricity in their power outlets. In the States, your plug with two long rectangles produces 110 volts at 60mhz. In West Africa, the outlets come in […]

The guest house used to be a dorm for missionary kids so there is a large soccer field, basket ball court and playground on the compound. Trey enjoyed the playground and had a blast running […]
Already at Work
12 hours in Africa and I’m already at work! Hey, that’s what we’re here for! We are staying today at the missionary guest house – a “motel” of sorts for any mission team passing through the city. The guest house has high-speed internet and a computer available to guests for checking email and surfing the […]
