The call came at 5 p.m. today.  Would there be a room available at Shiloh for a couple who needed a place to stay for two weeks?  "Sure, come on over," I told them. I gave them directions, and then the fun began. They took first one wrong turn and then another.  They phoned for direction clarification time and time again.  They could have walked to us in 15 minutes or less, but it took them an hour, driving around in circles, to find us.  I finally went outside our gate and made myself as visible as possible.  Of course they were three blocks away at that time and could not see me!

Turns out this young Cameroonian couple is fresh off their honeymoon.  The new husband has given up a good paying job to go into mission work.  They are here in Yaounde for two weeks of training and are eager to learn all they can.  In fact when they learned we have been missionaries for 46 years, they were in awe of us.  They hesitantly asked if we would be willing to counsel them, pray with them, and help guide them as they make decisions.  What an honor for us to have input in their young lives.
