At least one third of our time is spent traveling – by foot, motorcycle or truck.
Tricky with two people on a motorcycle and a large bag of medicine! At least the path is dry today!
Don’t forget the picture roll!
It is so effective out here!
This past week BletJhaw totaled 14 hours of strenuous, dangerous, driving just in 1 1/2 days! Four of those hours were in the middle of the night, leaving him weak and exhausted. Some places are so narrow that there is no room for error! Try making 2 point turns around corners on steep downgrades, when reverse must not drift 6 inches forward or down the precipice you go! The Lord has continually saved us on these roads – and from the wild elephants!
Today we took a pregnant woman out and travelled through an area infested with elephants. We passed by 5 piles of elephant dung, but did not encounter them, because we prayed and trusted God.
Sometimes during the dry season we come across a crew building a section of concrete. We cannot go through and must turn around and go all the way back and find an alternate route! We get home in 4-6 hours! Oh the Endless Endless Pathways!!
I cannot show you the most narrow dangerous places because we cannot stop and get out to take a picture, but all I can say is that I am so thankful for BletJhaw who is an excellent driver, and in spite of almost fainting from exhaustion sometimes, he is always ready to get up and go again in order to save a life or a soul!!

Oh, how I long for my home in heaven where I can fall at Jesus feet and thank Him for all He’s done for us! –And – can you imagine the beauty of smooth golden streets?!!
