Wow! I can't believe it is already Friday! Mike and I have been hiking the streets of Freetown all week. We have been doing lots of searching...searching for an apartment, a vehicle, and factory. With all the traffic, random rainfalls, and craziness of the city, it seems to take so long to get anything done here. At different times during the week our patience has definitely been tried. Mike was talking to a guy we meet here named Dane. Dane had been in Sierra Leone for a while by himself. He was explaining how he can see why in the Bible, the disciples were sent out two by two. They were sent together, not alone. Being together has helped Mike and me this week. When my patience was running thin, Mike stepped in to remind me of who I am here to represent, Christ! At the same time, I was there for Mike when he needed a reminder. It is awesome to be able to encourage and motivate one another when things get tough.
So we accomplished some things! We are in a new apartment in a great location. It is in a safer, residential area of West Freetown right off a main road, so we can get out and about quickly. We also found a factory site. It is on the main road our apartment is off of, just a little over a mile away. We still have lots to work out concerning this site, but there are lots of positives about the site! We also found a Toyota Lancruiser. I test drove it in the city! The driving here is crazy, so I was a little scared. Mike was riding shotgun, and I think he was freaking out (on the inside)! It is a BEAST, and will be a great vehicle for when we drive on bad roads in the villages plus it will carry all the supplement we need! Well that is all for now! Thanks for reading! Peace, chelsea

That is all such great news!! It honestly sounds like you got a lot accomplished in a week. A new car, new apartment, and new factory. All I did this week was try a new type of chocolate milk. Which, by the way, was pretty exciting. : ) I MISS YOU! So happy about all the progress, my prayers and thoughts are always with you both.
Hey guys :) I'm glad things are going well. Sounds like the Lord is definitely providing what you need. Thanks for the emails and blogs. Its great to hear from ou guys. Love and prayers!
Wow, so exciting!
Hi, a search of Panguma hospital brought me to this site. My oldest daughter, Talitha, was born in Panguma hospital on August 20, 1981 when my wife and I were with Volunteer International Christian Services (VICS) in Boajibu. Nuns were running the hospital at the time and there were a couple of European doctors on staff. Delivery was long and we used a kerosene lamp to see. My wife did public health nursing and one of her nurses was a Patrick Sam from Boajibu. I wish you both all the best in your work, your experiences and in your Christian walk.
