It seems like no matter where we are, what place we might pass through, Roy loves to help out with gardening\/farming\/anything to do with plants.\u00a0 He is happiest when he\u2019s got dirt under his fingernails and leaf litter on his feet.\u00a0 He was able to help the Stokers get their evergreen back up and standing strong after a very destructive storm.\u00a0\"blog-roy-ag\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were asked to be in Yaounde for a week in order to renew our ID cards, so we complied. \u00a0Because of red tape, illness, and frustrating power outages while helping others with their IDs, our friendly local agent was very busy during that week. \u00a0He didn’t get around to helping us until the day before we were to fly out. \u00a0We were praying and hoping we could get them that day. \u00a0Imagine our relief when we went through the process in not 3 days like the previous colleagues’ timing, but 1.5 hours!! \u00a0The office now having a scanner for fingerprints as well as for signatures, and being assigned a very pleasant person to help us were gifts to be much appreciated. \u00a0I usually leave the “distinguishing marks\/features” blank. \u00a0I mean, I don’t have a scar down the side of my face or a withered arm. \u00a0We sure were tickled when the data input lady filled it out for me. \u00a0Apparently prescription glasses and “thin lips” are my distinguishing features! \u00a0LOL!!! \u00a0This was on the temporary paper copy. \u00a0I can’t wait to see that in colorful plastic, signed and sealed!<\/p>\n
