Another friend...


Here is a picture of Wesley and me with a good friend of ours, Randolph. This picture is coming on the heels of a long and strenuous game of scrabble between Wes and Randolph, so if the former looks a little tuckered out, that’s why. Randolph is amazing. His reputation certainly preceded him at our first game, but none of us thought that a Cameroonian would beat an American. We were wrong. In his last game against Wesley, he did use the word “Equire” (verb: to sort things into sets of 24). Final score: 424 to 259. Wow. We have thoroughly enjoyed having him in class (I have him for Hebrew, Wes has him for Missions and NT Intro.). He is a very thoughtful, very sharp student with a big heart, which makes him similar to many of the acquaintances we have made here.


We miss you all, and do pray for you often,

-Charlie (making a rare appearance for the team)

Bring him on - I would LOVE to play Scrabble. Nothing better than Scrabble in Africa - fond memories of playing the game on Decker's porch in Abidjan. I'm ready for Ndu!! I'll even bring my official dictionary! :)

Dear ≠ equipoise,
It's a Beatles "Abbey Road" t-shirt I picked up on the clearance rack at Target this summer. It's one of my faves now; wear it all the time; in fact, I'm wearing it now! :)
