Dakar, Ziguinchor and Catel

We have arrived safely in Ziguinchor. So far it has been wonderful. We have enjoyed the warmer weather. We are sitting at a cyber cafe in Senegal and my battery is just about to run out... will update more later.

Two weeks of training complete... six bags packed... six vaccines injected... anti-malarial medication started... all other possessions packed in a 10x10 storage unit... we are ready... or rather, we feel ready.

Tomorrow at 5:30 pm, Jon and I  will be flying to Dakar, Senegal. Beryl Forester (long-term missionary) will meet us there. The plan is to then take a ferry to Ziguinchor, Senegal. We will then purchase our visas and drive to Catel, Guinea-Bissau.
We enjoyed excellent sessions and teaching at Harrisburg Discipleship Center. Each session seemed to only build my excitement! After the first session excitedly I thought "ok, now I am ready." Then we would have another session and I thought "ok... wasn't ready then... but I am ready now!" We eventually just ran out of sessions...
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed and helped us get this far. One thing we have realized on this adventure, is that we are richly blessed in friends, relatives and incredible church families.
