"Lean left!" someone screams. All 20 of us crawl to the other side of the precariously leaning bus. The vehicle slides further down the steep hill then stops abruptly when it hits a large hole.
Well, this looks like a good time to get out.
We all climb out of the bus into a chilly, drizzly evening. The men crawl on top of the bus and begin handing down our 60+ pieces of luggage. We carry a good number of the suitcases about a quarter mile down the muddy, African road. Once free of a considerable amount of weight, the bus makes it the rest of the way to the Sinclairs' home in Bambili.
This is just Africa's way of welcoming, and the team took it in perfect stride.
For all you concerned mothers out there, we are all fine! No one was harmed in the least (except for maybe Sarah who took a tumble down a slick part of the hill).
This trip has been amazing so far! God has been so faithful to get us here, and He has allowed us to share His gospel with so many already! Keep praying as we continue the Lord's work here in Cameroon.
