We have been here in Kenema a month now. It feels like so much longer. We have become familiar with so many things, but still have much to learn. When we go for walks now, we are not always the first to say hello because we have become familiar to others along the way. I … Continue reading The 4 S’s of Kenema

Industry in Kenema
Before we left on our mission, we read on the internet that Kenema was “an industrial city”. Now that probably means something different to me and to each of you than it did to the author, because as far as I can tell there isn’t much “industry” here. But as I have continued to think … Continue reading Industry in Kenema
The Fog is Lifting
Another great week has gone by here in Kenema, Sierra Leone, Africa. And as the name of this post indicates, the fog is beginning to lift and we are getting our feet under us. There is still much for us to do and learn and integrate with, but it is beginning to feel more … Continue reading The Fog is Lifting
The Bumpy Roads of Kenema
We have been here just over a week now and are beginning to feel the rhythm of this place. The people, the activity, the daily cycle and the weather. We are making efforts to become a part of that rhythm and that cycle - with some success. Morning starts early for most. The Muslim call … Continue reading The Bumpy Roads of Kenema
The Road to Kenema
On Friday morning, July 13th we left “civilization” in Freetown and headed out to Kenema.

All in all it was about a 6 hour drive to get here, leaving around 1 pm from Freetown … Continue reading The Road to Kenema

Arrival in Freetown
After completing our MTC training, we were able to travel to Blackfoot to visit one last time with LaDawn's 5 brothers and their spouses. How we loved being with them! On Sunday evening we enjoyed another treat as we were able to visit for a short time with Steve and Pat Weber. Steve served as … Continue reading Arrival in Freetown
Missionary Training Center (MTC)
Today, is Wednesday, July 4th. We have now spent two full wonderful days in the MTC. It was 41 years 11 months ago on Monday that I first stepped into the very same building as a young man preparing to go to Munich, Germany as a missionary. It is amazing to me that a building … Continue reading Missionary Training Center (MTC)
Hand in Hand in Sierra Leone
On March 5, 2018 we opened our mission call and were pleased to learn that we would be serving in Sierra Leone, Africa. That was nearly 4 months ago. The time has now come that we will take leave of our home and our family and begin an exciting, yet humbling mission. We have had … Continue reading Hand in Hand in Sierra Leone
