Favorite Missions Experience: This happened many years ago when my family moved to Liberia West Africa.  On this occasion we made a trip into the jungle to a church conference.  We walked jungle trails for many hours.  It was hot and dry, even in the high forest.  When we arrived at our destination, our family was given a newly built mud wattle house and taken to a private place in a nearby stream to refresh ourselves from the long, hot jungle trek.  We were assembled to be welcomed by the leaders of the village.  They gave us each a cold bottle of Coke to drink.  Someone had carried a kerosene refrigerator in ahead of us, along with the kerosene and several cases of soda to be chilled for us.  That day I learned a good lesson in hospitality.
