Each Late Show would end with a goofy \u201ctop ten\u201d list (\u201cTen Reasons that Captain Kangaroo should be president of the United St.ates, that sort of thing). As part of our newsletter today, we\u2019ve decided to do our own top ten list. Well, actually it\u2019s a top eight list, because we felt like ten was a little too long-winded. So today we proudly present to you \u201cEight Ways to Know You\u2019re A Missionary in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We find humor, beauty and faith-building in everything you\u2019re about to read on this list. We hope that it gives you, our faithful friends and supporters, a little bit of a behind-the-scenes peek into what life is like on the African mission field.<\/p>\n<p>And now without further adieu, you know you\u2019re a missionary in Africa when:<\/p>\n<p>De-worming isn\u2019t just for your dog. It\u2019s true! Twice a year, every member of the Canfield family takes a yummy little pill that kills off any \u201cfriends\u201d our intestines might have picked up (the pill has no side effects). Thankfully, the medicine has worked and we haven\u2019t had any unwanted stomach visitors yet. But worms in Ethiopia are fairly easy to get from fruit and contaminated food. So the next time you pick up worm medicine for your pet, you think can think of us.<\/p>\n<p>Potato chips are one of your most valued treasures. We won\u2019t lie \u2013 when we lived in the US, Trader Joe\u2019s potato chips were one of our favorites. No Trader Joe\u2019s here. Sometimes at one of the tiny local stores here we can find a brand of chips called Mr. Potato. They\u2019re basically the African version of Pringles chips, complete in a tall, slender can. When we do find a can of these, the celebration that follows would make you think we just won the lottery. But no, we\u2019re just really excited about a bit of highly processed fat and salt.<\/p>\n<p>Candles aren\u2019t decorations. The power goes out here. A lot. Usually a few times a day. Our longest stretch with no power was four months, as we shared in our last newsletter. So we\u2019ve gotten used to eating, reading,washing dishes, etc. by the light of candles. We were so blessed to have one of our friends and supporters in Oregon send us a gift of a new portable generator for our house. We can get gas to run it a few hours a day during the bad power outages. But our eyes have developed a somewhat cat-like ability to see in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>Your definition of \u201cclean\u201d changes (dramatically). Between power outages and water shortages, showers can be a rarity, especially during the dry season. Jackson and Oliver actually love this, as they\u2019ve never been really big big fans of bathing.<\/p>\n<p>Bugs and reptiles in your house don\u2019t bother you. The variety of animals in Africa is absolutely stunning. There are so many small creatures here that look like they stepped out of a psychedelic dream. The catch is that many of them crawl, fly or slither into our house on a regular basis. It\u2019s not uncommon to grab a dish off the shelf and find a striped lizard sleeping underneath. Or to step out of bed in the morning and disturb a horned beetle slowly making its way across the floor. There\u2019s no way to keep them out, so for the most part we just laugh and admire them (although Brad was not a fan of the black tarantula in our kitchen).<\/p>\n<p>Your morning commute involves dodging donkeys. There\u2019s nothing like traffic in Africa. It\u2019s perhaps comparable to driving through a massive, out-of-control circus \u2013 fascinating, amusing and sometimes alarming. Every time we drive from our house to the hospital, we swerve around packs of donkeys (far more numerous than cars), chickens, goats, three-wheeled bajaj taxis, and oceans of people. We praise God after every drive that we didn\u2019t hit anyone or anything.<\/p>\n<p>You take \u201ccoffee snob\u201d to a whole new level. In our biased opinion, east Africa produces the best coffee in the world, and Ethiopia is known as the birthplace of coffee. Back in our home state of Oregon, there\u2019s a coffee shop called Stumptown is that at the epi-center of the \u201ccoffee snob\u201d culture. The kind of place where people in plaid shirts sit around sipping $10 cups of joe and commenting about \u201cfloral notes.\u201d Well, the folks at Stumptown can only dream of sitting on a terrace overlooking the mountains of Ethiopia, drinking coffee that was grown and roasted about a mile down the road on a small farm, and slow-brewed in a jebena pot over a coal fire. The scenes that you see on the big posters in Starbucks, we get to live every day. What can we say, we\u2019re proud of our adopted country!<\/p>\n<p>You believe in miracles, because you see them happen all the time. As Christians living in the US, it was often easy for us to give lip-service to the idea that God works miracles, without fully believing it in our hearts. The blessings of modern medicine and the relative security of living in America often made super-natural intervention in our lives seem unnecessary. It\u2019s different in Ethiopia. Miracles are how people survive here. There\u2019s no rain for months for crops; so the people in our city hold an all-night prayer meeting, and the next day it pours (and the next and the next). Patients come to Soddo Christian Hospital with medical problems that should mean death, with conditions that should be incurable. Our staff pray for them (and also provide great care), and the patients walk out of the hospital healthy. Mysterious, massive tumors disappear. Horrible diseases evaporate into thin air. It\u2019s easy to discount the supernatural when you don\u2019t really need it. Our perspectives have been changed because we do need it. Every day.<\/p>\n<p>Post by: Brad Canfield<\/p>\n<p>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithandmountains.com\/2016\/05\/you-know-youre-a-missionary-in-africa-when\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">used by permission<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re guessing that some of you reading this were probably fans of the Late Show with David Lettermen.
