electric and internet woes

Our electric has been on and off since Saturday, seems a transformer in the area blew up, it got fixed and then blew up again... praise God our co-workers lent us their generator (they're on a different circuit) but still couldn't use washing machine, hot water heater, etc. Well, we finally got electric back and our internet was out, seems like the router that sends out the signal blew up (lots of things getting blown up!). Praise God it got fixed today and we are back online, wohoo! I really shouldn't complain, I just got done reading the biography of Adoniram Judson (with Josh for 3rd grade); he was a missionary to Burma back in the 1800's. Man, life was tough for missionaries back in those days, constantly sick, persecuted, children dying, months to travel back home, years with no furlough... so incredibly dedicated to their work. Seriously, we are soooo blessed today, thank you Lord!

Tomorrow we are heading out to see some of our good friends, the Hamms, that are Bible translators out in the village of Bafangi. Their son is turning 4 so we going to go celebrate with them. They also have a little girl who is a few months older than Jude and they are such good buddies. I'm really looking forward to it, we haven't been out there before and I love seeing more of this beautiful country and it's beautiful people. Hoping the roads won't be too bad as it has been raining a lot lately. Will post pictures when we get back.
