Week 14/15: Letters From the Village

Chris — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 13:16:46 +0000

As part of our Africa orientation with PBT, we spent two weeks in an East African village, living with a local family, eating local food, and learning about the local culture. This video shows what life was like for us there.

Radio Silence

Today we leaving to spend 2 weeks in a village a few hours away from home. This is part of our cultural orientation, and we hope it will be a great time of language learning and an opportunity for us to understand more about life in this part of Africa.

We will not have electricity during this time, so we will not be posting any video updates, replying to any emails, or updating anything else online. We will have a camera and will post photos and videos after we return. Please keep us in your prayers, especially for our health as it not uncommon for people to return from village living with some health issues. Thanks!

Week 4: African Safari Gone Awry

Chris — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 18:49:27 +0000

We visited a nearby National Wildlife Park here in East Africa where we were able to photograph many wild animals, but our adventure took a turn for the worse when our truck became stuck in the mud! We spent five hours in the park at night after the park closed before we were finally rescued.

After finishing our training with PBT in Dallas, we are moving back to Delaware for a while. This is a video of our trip back. We were stuck in a horrible snow storm and stranded on I-81 in Virginia for almost 24 hours! The trip took three days instead of the two days we were expecting, but we made it safely.
