Charles and I have found an apartment and are slowly establishing our home.\u00a0 We now have living room furniture and drapes for the windows.\u00a0 We also have drapes for the doors as does most every home here in Senegal.\u00a0 In fact, some homes have drapes for all the walls of the living room! But, I didn’t go that far.\u00a0 We don’t have everything we would like for our home but we have all we need for now.\u00a0 Maybe a bed, cushions for the furniture,\u00a0 and oven will come later.\u00a0 We are happy to be together beginning our married life in a cute little apartment for two. We live in sunny Dakar in a fairly calm part of town.\u00a0 Our neighbors have a few trees including a mango tree so we are blessed to hear lots of birds every day.\u00a0 We also hear the sheep that are next door and the prayers of the dominate religion that are sent over loud speakers all around town 5 times a day.\u00a0 There are several venders who sell soap, fish, brooms, and other things that walk our little street daily.\u00a0 They always have some catchy phrase they holler out in woolf “fish for sell” or “soap, come buy soap”.\u00a0 I like to hear their sing song calls but still have to ask Charles what they mean since I do not speak Woolof.\u00a0 We like our neighbors and are getting to know them better.\u00a0 Pray that we are a blessing here in our little neighborhood and have good relationships with people.\u00a0 We pray that we can be good witnesses here. Praise God for our apartment!<\/p>\n
