It has been said that life in the mission field is never boring (for long that is) and I haven't found it a false statement. Today Daniela (the other SM) and I went to go to the caves in Tormelin, a village about 30km from Fria on my motorcycle (I bought a 125cc Chinese-made motorcycle in Conakry a few weeks ago). No sooner had we left Fria than we were stopped at a police checkpoint. As usual, they looked over all the motorcycle papers and admitted that they were "normal;" undeterred, they tried to extract a few thousand francs (at least they were far nicer than the soldiers I was stopped by last time in Fria)!

Life is beginning to settling into a routine so there are fewer new experiences to write about. However, once and a while I get out and do something interesting. Not too long ago, I took off an afternoon and went with Neil (one of the other missionaries) on his motorcycle down in the big river.

Hi Everyone,

It seems like ages since I left the states but its been less than two weeks. There is so much going on here that its hard to know what to write about. I guess perhaps I’ll describe a few typical days.
