Live from Yekepa, Liberia

We've reached our base camp, the African Bible College located in Yekepa, Liberia. The campus is beautiful, surrounded by mountainous jungle. It's been an exhausting journey, 4 days of extended airplane rides and a long bus ride through the jungle.
The men are set up in the dorm rooms at the college...no A/C and sleeping under mosquito nets, but the rooms are really nice.

A quick summary of our travels:

June 12th:
Phoenix to Washington DC flight. Dustin Nelson got to be an honorary flight attendant and served drinks to the whole plane...telling them about our mission on the way.
Washington to London flight. Touched down in London at 6:35 AM London time.

June 13th:
Had a 14-hour layover in London, which seems like alot but it took us 4 hours to get out of the London airport, and an hour each way to take the tube to the Picadilly Circus exit. Watched Algeria versus Slovenia at a pub in Leicester Square (next to Chinatown) called O'Neills.
Finished up the day with an 8 hour flight from London to Nairobi.

June 14th:
Nairobi to Monrovia flight. The scene at the Monrovia airport is chaos. We located 24 of 28 boxes...4 boxes missing...including the dirt bike box with the helmets and rope. Oh well...expect the unexpected. We make our way by bus to a couple of homes outside of Monrovia that are located on the beach. It's early evening, so the team heads out for a swim in the Atlantic. We head into Monrovia for a bite to eat...eat at Sajj House, which feels strange as the restaurant is guarded and surrounded by barbed wire. Monrovia is bustling with people out on the streets.

June 15th:
Up early for another swim in the ocean. We then pack up and drive by bus through the heart of Liberia, to our base camp located in Yekepa. Pretty much an uneventful ride. Get to see alot of Liberia during this trip. We arrive at the ABC University, and everyone has settled in to their rooms.
