Old Timz!

Here is a picture of an old water tower on the missionary station in Africa where I attended school. One of the scarey but fun things to do as a kid was go to the top and walk around the ledge. There was an old rotted out ladder going to the top with a few rungs missing on it. The ledge had some areas missing on it as well. We were always so proud to make it around the top and back down again!

This is the dorm that so many of us lived in while in Cameroun, Africa. This picture is of one side of the building. This was the guys side of the dorm. It had two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedroom on the far corner is where Micah, Mark, Ryan Durkopp and I spent our first year together. We learned how to make things out of leather and lead(not a good idea), fabricated many different weapons, planned hunting and camping trips and Ryan turned us on to the sweet sound of rock n roll. I know it does not look like much, but this was almost every boys paradise!

I can tell--thinkin' about the good ol' days in Africa again...
Lots of great memories we all had! (And it's a good thing that parents only knew half of what their children were up to!)
