Yes, we are alive and well. No we have not been mugged...yet, though it seems like this might be our best chance at it out of everywhere we've been. So far everything except for walking along the side of the road seems reasonably safe. So we will just give you a few quick update bullets because there is a lot to cover.
* We recently have overcome the bane of nine hours of jet lag. It took us almost a week to start feeling somewhat good as far as sleep goes, waking up at 2 a.m. is not conducive to the Bethel Schedule (pronounced Schedge-wool)
* Our assignment is tracing and documenting the Printery...yes the whole Printery, its a huge job. There is an expansion planned as well as upgrades of nearly all the panel boards, but there are zero prints to even know how it is hooked up currently and what is needed in the future.
* The S.A. Bethel family is very friendly and it was very easy to fall into the flow of it. The thing you would notice about the family and the people in general is how tough and resilient they are, and how easily they laugh, crack a smile or wave.
* We've already had a few adventures including driving and getting a flat tire, diving with Great Whites, holding and petting lions.
We hope all are doing well and can't wait to see you again. We also would like to please ask that you do not forward this blog, text or photos, this is just for our close friends. Please keep us updated with what is going on with you, Africa is a long ways away.
Your Friends,
African Speer's
P.S. Some photos of our lion adventure, more photos later, takes forever for them to upload atm.
