There is something nice about simply driving your truck off the road and into the landscape before you stop for a picnic. Kirsten always does a great job with the food so we throw out the mat and enjoy some grub before moving on. - Majesty in Meekness

The Story Continues...

Steve > Introduction

Chapter 1 was written in the sands of the unknown. We didn't know what awaited us - the joy, the pain. The chapter ended unexpectedly with lots of drama and suspense. The reader was drawn into our story as the final pages turned. Now we look to begin writing Chapter 2 tomorrow. This folder will soon contain pictures and tell a story which is as much a mystery to me as it is to you. In many ways I pray this is a very boring chapter and simply ends with us learning to speak Chadian Arabic.

Steve > Silas jumped off a bench, smacked his forehead against a metal bar, and the fell face-first into the sand. Tears began streaming at which time I rescue him and asked permission to take this photo. He agreed and the fact that I thought is was funny calmed him down thankfully.

Steve > Rain in N'Djamena. The rains are starting and the first question out of our kids mouths is "can we play outside in the rain?" What's the fun of being a kid unless you can get dirty? The other pictures turned out blurry so this is the best I have.

Steve > The scenery in our lives continue to change at a rapid pace. It seems like just yesterday I was watching the daffodils bloom at our home in West Virginia. Before that it was the snow falling on the Alps. Backtracking we saw the humid tropics of Gabon and the Sahel of Chad. Now we just had lunch in Waza national park in Cameroon. Unfortunately we didn't see any animals but we may drive back and hire a guide for a true African safari.

Steve > I just though Silas looked cute here so I don't really have anything to say about this picture but I've written a caption for all the others so far.

Steve > The wild cat was captured. She is happy in Cameroon (Puma) but she didn't care for the bumpy roads.

Steve > This is Puma growing up. You may remember from an earlier photo posted in the "Dawn Treader" that we got her about 2 weeks before we were evacuated from Chad. Now she is about 6 months old but still loves our kids.

Steve > Anybody up for a game of basketball? Meet me between the termite mounds. (Just in case you want a rematch David). If you try a bank-shot do you have to call mud instead of glass?
