Here is us driving off of the ferry - it was crazy, there were so many people.

This is a picture from the ferry.

Faith and Melodie on the ferry - they were inseparable while in the Gambia!

Don't see this in the States do you?

A guy named Siddie - we shared stories with him many times. Pray for his eyes to be opened and that he would read the Bible we left with him. Praise the Lord for the 8 people that were baptized while we were in the Gambia. Pray that all of those that were shared with will continue to search and find the true God!

The trip home was much smoother than the trip to the Gambia. When we got to the ferry there was nobody in line, so we only had to wait an hour. The border stops were a little interesting - a funny thing that happened was that while we were at the second of 3 buildings where Ron had to get something signed. The kids and I were in the car and there were a group of kids asking for everything they saw in the car. A lady walks up and a girl asks for the bibiron - I didn't know what that was - so after clarifying it was a baby bottle I said no, it was a toy for Faith's baby. They couldn't understand that Faith had a baby. I said to the lady that she didn't need a bottle to feed and she then proceeded to lift up her shirt and squirt me with breast milk, and then she fell out laughing. After I picked up my jaw, I told her she still couldn't have the bottle. She asked if she could "look" at it - stupid me - said sure. She then told me sorry and walked away. She did throw back some "free" cashews. I didn't want to cause a scene at the border crossing, crazy white woman trying to enter the country might not go over to well. We survived, but it might be a while before we go back.

We are now home in our new apartment. We are about 90% moved. We slept here for the first time since moving. Faith has a bad infection in her ear, face and eye. She is on major antibiotics and will go back to the dr. on Thursday. She is miserable and on 24 hour pain meds. We are praying that the antibiotics kick in today. She has had 1 day of them and so hopefully she will turn the corner today.

We have jumped back into language - we weren't ready after speaking english for 3 weeks. We want to be able to communicate better so we will continue to do 2-3 days a week for the summer before school starts. Pray that our language will stick.

Off for now - thanks for all of your prayers. Pray that we will get everything done in this next month before the boys arrive!
