Missionary Monday - What More Can I Say?!

I love this picture! It pretty much sums up life here on our mission field. The word for it would possibly be oxymoron or paradox. This picture is an excellent image of what we see on a day-to-day basis... old and modern co-existing. And you know what? I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!

  3. We see this in the aspect of cell phones. We never dreamed that nearly every church member would have their own cell phone. It is a common sight to see several of them plugged into the outlets around the auditorium during church. Many of them live in homes without electricity, so they bring their phones to church to charge.

  5. Ha! That's hilarious Jolene... I remember seeing similar sights in Romania and Poland, years ago. Not with laptops, but with cell phones.

    And, your sticker idea is great!

  7. Oh how I love this photo! The only thing that would make it cuter would be if one of the ladies was talking on a cell phone, too!!

    Hope you are feeling fine!
