camel crossings.



You laugh, but…


We drove to Loki this past week to pick up the Nehemiah Team of seven college guys who are spending the summer in Toposaland. Here they are with their two translators at the compound:

On the day before they arrived, the whole Toposa team, including Jonathon and Holly Lesley who are living in Loki, drove to Lodwar, Kenya for the day.  There we got gas bottles for our stove/oven!  While grocery shopping, we also found some yogurt! 

Of course, a trip without getting stuck in the mud would not be complete.  The truck was high-centered (where the wheels are not touching the ground) in the mud in Loki the day the Nehemiah Team arrived and it took not only Shannon’s car, but also Jonathon’s car, to get us out from these ruts!

Davis joined the world of double digits on June 5th, and he really enjoyed the gift Mindy and I gave him…a real US Army survival kit.  He carried the book with him everywhere, even in Loki!
