Trio Makes Friends In Foreign Lands ave you ever ridden a camel on the beach of the Arabian Sea, been turned down by a government which thinks you are mercenaries instead of mission- or worn the same pair of boots all summer? Friends Travis Monroe, Linda Walters and Cami Thompson exper- ienced an unusual adventure that not only strengthened their friendships but made them new friends all over the world. Before this exciting adventure could begin they had to go to boot camp for special training. The boot camp operates under the auspices of Teen Missions International which is a group formed and supported by Christian churches in the USA and Canada. Teen Missions Interna- tional ls located in the swampy part of Merrit Island, Florida. The day started at 5:30 a.m. with an obstacle course, break- fast and classes that prepared them for all phases of con- struction work and evangelizing. Working on teams where they learned how to construct block walls, fabricate and install trusses and steel bars in concrete, they prepared themselves for the work they would be doing. Along with classes,they had rallies and listened to missionary speakers from around the world. After two weeks they each boarded buses to take them to their flights to various destinations. Travis' destination was Vanuatu an island in the south Pacif- ic between New Caledonia and Fiji. When they arrived, the government would not approve the group's entry into the country. Plans were changed and the team of twenty boys and four girls spent the summer on the island of Fiji. Their project was to rebuild a cabin used for a Christian Youth Camp that was destroyed by a hurricane. After a long two day bus trip from Florida to New York, Cami's team finally boarded Pakistan Air and the team was off for an exciting aries, R. 174 Friends trip to Nepal. Nepal is a small and somewhat mysterious country tucked in against the Himalayan Mountains, o' which Mount Everest is the tallest and most famous. lt is located between China and India. Before the work started they had to stop in Paris because of the threat of a bomb or the plane. Everyone and everything was searched. They boarded the plane again and headed for their next stop Karachi, Pakistan. A one day layover turned into seven days because of governmental red tape. During this layover thd team witnessed poverty and filth first hand. At last the teanf was allowed to land in Kathmandu, Nepal. They were loade into a cattle truck to go to the work project. Their projec was to build a third story on an orphanage. Because of great team, they finished their project early and they wer able to go out and sightsee. They saw lush greenery, ope markets and had lots of fun bargaining. The team also got t visit the temples where they saw the Living Goddess an animal sacrifices. On a more civilized note, Ireland wa where Linda spent her wonderful summer with her team They rejuvenated a mission and reconstructed an old towe on the estate which was once used as a lookout for inva sions from the Irish Sea. She also installed water pipes an drains to stop flooding and performed other smaller task around the estate. Along with the building, Linda's team di bike evangelism riding through the country on bicycles ex plaining Christianity through puppetry, skits, songs and one on-one talking. These three teams had a great desire t work hard, meet new people and serve the Lord. In th short space of a summer they were given the gift of majo intellectual and emotional experiences which will be remem bered always. t rx 3. - ' - . ' ' 5-'Nz , . s ' . - -f -, 12, Q .-W - . g ...
