Travels In Full Swing

May 17, 2019 by Joel and Andi

A whole month has passed without a word and I can’t even think of where to start with all the things that have gone on since the last time I wrote. Really the main thing we have done is travel A LOT.

The first trip we had took us down to Guinea to visit a family down there who are in the process of learning language. This was a work that we have to travel to by car. It is a full days drive and we were bringing supplies down with us so our car was LOADED. It was our first time consulting this family and helping them since they moved into the village. It was great to see there context and get to know more of their realities.

For you today I have some pictures from our drive. Between the Senegal border and the Guinea border there are over 10 stops.

  • This is how you know it is time to stop
  • Or perhaps there is a sign like this
  • Most of the time Joel will get out and I sat and watched
  • Watched the people lining up to leave
  • Or watch the donkey as he crossed the road
  • Or the lady selling food
  • Just waited and watched
  • And waited and watched
  • At each of these 10 stops

However I am not complaining at all as Joel was in doing the hard work of presenting papers and waiting in lines to getting everything checked at each stop by a different official. I would not want to do it with out him. We were amazed at how smoothly it all went even with our car over loaded. We were very much praising God for his grace on this trip. To end I will show you a few more bonus pictures from our our time on the road.

  • Even with our car loaded we still be far had the more comfortable mode of transport!

    Ours was more weight than looks. The weight we had in the back (600 pounds of batteries) with other supplies that made it so our front wheels were barely touching the ground.

    Wait – based on those other pictures- what counts as “overloaded?” Was the stack on top of your car four times as high as the car?
