Morning Traffic



Last April, Gavin and I moved to a beautiful house in a resort area. We picked the neighborhood based on its proximity to the new Zoe building, and the surprisingly low rent. It’s a 13-minute drive, depending on traffic. So far, we’ve encountered two problems with choosing to live in this lovely spot.
One morning on the way to work, we discovered a mud slide by accident – literally. After skidding on some slick mud, our truck knocked over two cement posts. We still have several dents on the hood of our truck as evidence of Gavin trying to shave one minute off an already short commute.
Most of the missionaries at Zoe are city slickers to some degree. We have representatives from southern California, Hawaii, Seattle, Minneapolis, and Detroit – to name a few. We have all experience headaches from gridlock and road rage. Our new facility is in a very remote area. It’s a beautiful location where the closest village is about 2 miles away. This photo shows what we mean when we speak of morning traffic.
