Robert's Port

Today Donovan Brendon and I went to Robert's Port, Liberia to check on supplies that a possible customer had delivered to their house for a solar instillation. The trip was about 90 miles, 26 of which were a dirt road, that was very very bumpy!!  The house is located on top of a hill overlooking the beach, a absolutely marvelous beach!  Today was a lot of fun, I was able to see a lot of Liberia (an eye opening experience) and was able to accomplish a lot of work around the house as well.

I am starting to realize how tough it is for the natives to live here. The villages we passed on our way to Robert's Port were hard to just pass by. The houses were nothing more than tree limbs tied together with palm roofs. The kids were so cute. Everyone that noticed us just smiled and pointed, I saw several yell "white man"  and a few even thought we were chinese. lol. I am really hoping that I will be able to visit/minister with these people over the next months. I pray that God may become evident to them if they do not already know him. If not through me through someone or something.

We are here!!!

After a 50 minute flight from Dulles to Atlanta, that left at 4:18 pm on February 12, we had a flight from Atlanta to Accra, Ghana. In Accra we refueled and switched some passengers. After an hour of waiting at 1:30 pm (Liberian time,  8:30 am Eastern Standard time) we took off for Monrovia, Liberia.  We landed at the Robert's International Airport at 3:00 pm Liberian time.  Donovan and I went through customs and were greeted by a lively bunch.  Christina, Brendon and the kids were all outside the airport waiting for us. After loading up all the luggage we headed to the house.  So that is how the trip to Africa went. Hope it was detailed enough.  (:

P.S.  I am having a slight problem figuring out how to upload pictures with the slower internet here. Hopefully I will have pictures up shortly.
