Elias has something to say...


The following contribution is from our own traveler-comic, Elias. Enjoy his witty reflection...
Greetings from Cameroon,
   Approximately two days ago, we ran out of food and water. This unfortunate circumstance has wreaked havoc on the sanity but more importantly, the team spirit of this year's mission group. As a result, the group has split into two factions, a mildly-Presbyterian Lutheran group and a somewhat-Catholic Lutheran group.
   The Presbyterian team managed to establish a guarded perimeter around the station's main water supply, much to the dismay of the parched Catholicites, who, nearly a day ago, ate Trevor. They are happily in possession of his fancy laptop and camera.
   In spite of this slight bump in the road, the LCI mission team has managed to participate in several large service projects including the following: building a replica of the Eiffel Tower from nothing but toothpicks and saliva, trying out some local food, giving away half eaten local food, and hosting Cameroon's first ever Harry Potter Movie Marathon.
   Thank you for your thoughts and prayers thus far; they have helped all of us (except Trevor) immensely. We hope that you continue to pray for us as we endeavor to serve God.
