Who am I?
- gordon elliott
- Monrovia, Liberia
- I live in Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa with my wife and youngest son. We are recently arrived in Liberia where we are serving as missionaries with Evangelical Church Missions working under the Liberia Evangelical Mission. For most of the last thirty years we have served under ECM in Bolivia, South America. We are the happy parents of four children and the proud grandparents of two grandchildren.

Mr. Mom KO'ed by the School System
I'm down but not quite out, although close. Last week the departmental education ministry announced that all schools (private and public) were to be shut down for a period of ten days in an attempt to curb the spread of the flu. The swine flu (no offense meant to the pigs and hopefully none taken) is is in epidemic proportions in Bolivia and the authorities fear for the safety of students in schools. So, here I sit with Mark and 7 days of homework. This is a test of any sane parent's ability to cope. But a parent without the other half is bound to end up looney when all is said and done. I've already made my reservation at the happy home for happy people - I'll be needing it.
