Radio Silence

Chris — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:29:18 +0000

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!

There is a troop of monkeys that likes to hang out at the PBT office, providing great entertainment/distraction for us. Here are a few clips that I recorded of them this week. This isn’t at a zoo or wildlife reserve, this is in our backyard!
