Updates

Faith's ear is doing much better. After going back to the doctor, she determined that she just had a nasty outer ear infection. It is still gross, but it is getting better everyday and she isn't in pain any more. Thank you for your prayers.

We are completely moved out of our other house and are still organizing and unpacking in the new apartment. The school has torn out the dorm kitchen, so the dorm is a mess. Our allergies are a mess because of the dust. We are praying that they finish soon. Once our apartment is finished getting the final touches on it, we will upload some pictures.

We are battling with roaches!! We have had ants before, but never roaches. We are determined to win this battle, so any tips are greatly appreciated. There will be some work done in the apartment in a week, so we will move out for a few days and we are going to do a bomb. We are praying that it helps. Ugh!

We all had our first de-worming treatment (not the first for Luke and Zach). Some of us picked up a little souvenir from the Gambia. But since some of us had them, we decided to make it a family affair! It worked!

All in all, life in Africa continues to go along smoothly. We have a volunteer team that we are going to be helping with - we are excited about that. We will be in some of the villages helping the team. Pray for our time and that we would be able to share the message of the Cross!

We are continuing to get ready for the dorm to open August 10th. We will be busy helping getting the campus ready and the dorm cleaned and set up. Pray that we will be efficient and thorough in all of our planning.

Continue to pray for our language. It is so frustrating to see the lostness of the people of Senegal and not be able to share the good news. We are going to start memorizing stories this week. Pray that we will have an opportunity to practice what we have learned.

We continue to thank you for your prayers and support of our family. While we miss being with our friends and family, we love life here in Senegal.
