You might remember their names as the ones who hosted Roy during his tooth crisis over New Year&#8217;s.  Our trip yesterday was full of items crossed off our to-do list.  The bank was not &#8220;broken&#8221; this time, so we did some banking.  The president of the EEB church hosted us for a lovely light lunch the signing of the English version of the agreement between the EEB church and the Covenant mission.  Roy was able to buy bushings and windshield wipers and a new light bulb for the truck&#8217;s interior.  The road had been worked on, so the trip took around 2 instead of 3 hours for the 55 mile distance.  We came home tired and hot but so very thankful that all went well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=212&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had such a good trip yesterday to Berberati along with our regional coordinators, John &amp; Letha Kerl, who are visiting from Lyon, France.
