LIBERIA AND A VIEW FROM OUR WINDOW

HERE IN THE LAND OF LIBERIA....IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO MOVE FROM NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES AND FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS COUNTRY IS SIMILAR IN MANY WAYS TO SIERRA LEONE, AND THEN AGAIN IT IS NOT. I LOVE HOW HEAVENLY FATHER CAN TRANSITION THE CHANGE IN YOU SO YOU ARE JUST WHAT HE NEEDS WHEN YOU LAND AND ARE PREPARED TO SERVE HIM. WE FEEL AT HOME IN MANY WAYS HERE WITH NEW RELATIONSHIPS, THE SURETY OF GOOD FRIENDS AND MISSIONARY WORK THAT ABOUNDS WITHIN OUR HEARTS.

WING TIP LANDING IN LIBERIA...


OUR RIDE IN FROM THE AIRPORT WHICH TAKES OVER AN HOUR. ELDER T AND PRESIDENT CARLSON IN THE FRONT SEAT AND MY VIEW OF A LAND THAT LOVES THINGS TO THE LAST OF THEIR LIVES.


ALWAYS A ROAD SIDE 7 ELEVEN FOR THE LOCALS. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU WILL SEE THE WHEELBARROW OUT FRONT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS THE MAIN MODE OF THOSE SELLING TO TRANSPORT THEIR GOODS.


THE JARS YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT ARE GAS. THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO A GAS STATION BACK IN THE STATES. AT FIRST, I WAS THINKING IT WAS HONEY....NOT SO!


OUR DEAR FRIENDS THE BUSBY'S WHO ARE DRESSED UP FOR AN 80'S NIGHT OUT PARTY. THEY ARE YOUNG ENOUGH TO BE OUR CHILDREN, AND THEY HAVE ALLOWED US TO STAY IN OUR OWN APARTMENT RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. WE LOVE BEING THEIR NEIGHBORS. THEY BOTH HAVE HEARTS OF GOLD, AND ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION TO SERVE OTHERS. I LOVE HOW THE LORD KEEPS ADDING TO OUR PRECIOUS ROLEDEX OF FRIENDSHIPS.


THE FIRST MORNING I AWOKE AND THIS IS WHAT GREETED ME. SUN RISING IN THE EAST, AND PREPARING US FOR THE DAY. OH WHAT WILL HE MAKE OF US?
