The Road to Our House at Mitcha

Well, rainy season is in full swing which means that everything is green and lush and that there is lots of water in the reservoirs and wells. This brings a mixed blessing in that the road that leads up to the compound where we live, begins to disappear.
Normally our road is a reasonably decent two lane dirt road.

As the season progresses one lane eventually disappears and turns into a small creek bed.
We joke about which side of the road do you drive on in Angola. The answer, whichever side is the best...sorta like Saskatchewan...just kidding about Saskatchewan, but not which side of the road we drive on!
Our road is a main street so there is all manner of traffic on it from small cars up to semi-trailers.

Some days it can be pretty frustrating with the crazy roads and sometimes crazier drivers, but we are thankful that God has brought us here to be a part of his plan at this time for Angola.
