We sent Guy into town today to buy our round trip tickets for Saturday.  Jim, Guy, and I are taking the first bus down to Daoula, visiting the new baby, and coming right back to Yaounde.  We hope to be safely back at Shiloh by dark.  Guy also took our gifts to town and had them gift wrapped.  We phoned Crystal to make final arrangements.  She and Hervey are excitedly looking forward to showing off their miracle baby boy to us.  They can't believe that we would go to all this effort just for them.  It's true that it will be a long day, but we are traveling on a V.I.P. bus.  New, air conditioned, roomy seats, on board bathroom that is kept clean throughout the trip, WiFi, on board hostess, meal provided...what more could we ask?  And yes, we will more than likely nap both going and coming.

Meanwhile back at Shiloh: 

*Jim repaired a door handle on one of the bedrooms.  The locking mechanism was in bad   shape. 

*Alice tried out a new mango cake recipe.

*Doris cleaned two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and did some ironing.

*Francis spent the day cooking food ahead for future guests.

*Guests enjoyed individual spiritual retreats.
