African Food

I guess it fair to call the food we eat African food because we are eating it in Africa.  However, I must say that the cooks do the best they can to make us comfortable with our food.  Every lunch and dinner we have beans and rice.  The rice is normal white rice and the beans are a red bean cooked in a tasty sauce.  For every meal  they try to add a side of some kind, such in the this pic we had green beans for the first time and a potato salad made without the tradtional mayo.  We have had chicken a few times and a taco thing one time.  Today is Sunday and for lunch after church we we had a treat of mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and green beans and as always, rice and beans.  Dinner is always left overs from lunch.  Breakfast is almost always oatmeal and bannanas.  Sunday mornings we have had omlettes and one time we had pancakes.  I have to say I am very pleased with the food that they give us.  I not losing the weight like I wanted, so I must be hitting the feed bag pretty good....
Now I am going to spend the rest of the day and night trying to upload an interview with Ms. Jane Owanga, a very interesting yough women....

03/10/13 Day 498 24,797 Total Miles

Well up loading photos and videos has turned into a real problem.  I tried for 16 hours to upload a great little interview with Jane Owanga, a staff member here.  Didn't work.... ugh!!!  Decided to send you this picture of our mess hall along with one of the inside and also a typical plate of food.  After an hour and half I gave up trying to get more than one picture on a blog.  I am going to send this and try and send another blog with the food info.  Thanks for your patience....

Compound Walk About 03/07/13

This a quick tour of about 1/3 of the compound.  Hopefully in the future I will be able do some editing and the quality will be better.  It took over 14 hours to download this little video onto my blog site.  I hope I can figure out something quicker down the road.
God Bless all of you and I hope you enjoyed this little tour Harvesters Reaching The Nations in Yei, South Sudan

Scary Video

I recorded this last weekend by holding the camera in my hand.  Besides being to close, it is obvious that I need a trim.  That's alright as this was the first in a series of experiments.  Blessings.....

Orphanage Church

I arrived at the orphanage last Saturday and got to go to their church the next day.  All the kids attended as well as most of the staff and many locals.  They have come along way in the last twelve years.  It was exciting being there for the first time....

3/6/13 Countryside

This is a photo shot at approximately 1,500 feet as we are flying into Yei, South Sudan.  We are right on the outskirts of town in this photo.  You may notice that some of the buildings have metal roofs.  Just a few miles futher out there are many grass huts spread out but no metal roofs and hardly any roads,  mainly just trails.
I had a few photos I wanted to add, but apparently my system is only going let me do one at a time....
We will keep working on that....

Ugh Picture

Going half way around the world didn't help my looks any......  In the process of trying to put a video up on my blog I tried using my web cam and this is what we are stuck with.....  Images will get better, I promise....
