Uncle Cameron TownsendOn the property of LBN (Las Buenas Nuevas, sits a 80 year old house that was purchased and assembled from a mail-order catalog. This old house is where Uncle Cameron Townsend (founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators) spent hours upon hours working on a local translation. It was here where he got the vision to begin WBT. The house sits on the shore of Lake Atitlan in the town of Panajachel. Surrounded by small villages all along the lake sits 2 large volcanoes. The site is priceless.
The flowers in this place are spectacular. Have you ever seen a flower with such 3 dimension and intriquet details? God's creation is beautiful.
Traveling back from Pana, we stopped off to visit with Ruth and Paul Philippi (CAM missionaries). By the way, they both graduated from Moody in 1953 (over 50 years ago)and have served just as many years in Antigua. Normally, we stop in the house to use the restroom, but this time, we enjoyed an afternoon lunch at a local Hotel. Look at the beautiful orchids!
