Some pics from July

We went to a village and helped cooked lunch - here are some pics of the day:

Here is the fish frying

We are cutting up the onions

Here is the main lady who cooked

We were rolling up little balls of ground fish

Here is the finished product

Sunset on the coast

Luke with a lizard he caught

These pics were from a restaurant where we ate with the team of volunteers

We have 3 days until the boys start arriving. Wow, has time flown by. We are about 95% ready and just have to wait on others for the other 5%. We are excited, anxious, nervous and scared to admit ready for this next step of the journey. This is what we have been preparing and waiting for, for the past 2 years. We probably have no clue of what we are in for, but we can't wait. We are excited to be able to build relationships with the guys in our dorm. We have been busy with our national workers - oh what a humbling experience. It has been hard with communicating. We have 3 workers and 2 of them want us to speak in Wolof and the other in French, so some days have been challenging. One of the workers giggle every time we talk. So we have been doing a lot of charades and pointing. But so far we survived our first week and nobobdy has quit. I have ordered my first order of food and have planned our first week of meals. Pray that I have ordered enough or I will be fixing a bunch of peanut butter and jelly!

Sorry it has been so long since our last post, I hope to be a bit more consistent. Thanks for sticking with us and continuing to read our blog and for praying for us and our ministry.

We are almost done the apartment - we need to hang a few more things on the walls and organize a bit more, but it definitely feels like home!
