\"???????????????????????????????\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We arrived back to Gamboula on New Year’s Eve only to have the internet die on us on New Year’s Day! \u00a0I called up our friendly IT guy, Jorge, in Canada, and after describing the symptoms he made the diagnosis. \u00a0We needed a new LNB (Roy is holding the old dead one next to the one he installed). Ouch. \u00a0No store around the corner or delivery of online purchases out here in the bush. \u00a0Jorge had what we needed in stock – well, next best – he didn’t have the exact same LNB so he had to send a programmed modem also with a newer model LNB. \u00a0He couldn’t order anything quickly enough because he had to get the replacement part from Canada to our new friend Allison (we have yet to meet her but we are thankful for her!). \u00a0The Turks knew that she and her husband were heading for Yaounde on Friday from the states and gave us her contact info. \u00a0Now this was Monday that we were arranging shipment to her. \u00a0They arrived to Yaounde on Sunday night, picked up by Luke Turk, who then had to get the parts to the taximan who was bringing our friends, the Nestors, to Yaounde on Monday. \u00a0They arrived at 10pm after driving all day, and the taxi turned around and drove back to our little town across the border, where I was waiting! \u00a0We are so very thankful for all this amazing timing! \u00a0 That Jorge had the parts, that Allison was coming so soon and was willing to bring them, that the Nestors were traveling to Yaounde that very next day which gave us a return trip opportunity. \u00a0This problem could’ve stretched on and on, but here I am writing to you about it, which means we are online! \u00a0Not to mention the fact that Roy and I were the nerd herd who replaced and reconnected everything (of course with directions from Jorge). \u00a0That could’ve spelled disaster, and actually there was a point when we were frustrated that it wasn’t working yet, and we tried rebooting a couple of times. \u00a0Then Roy said, “do you think we should connect this cable???” Thank you for your prayers!<\/p>\n
