Inadequacy

Inadequacy

May 22, 2015

Inadequacy. If we stop and realize just how inadequate we are it is very humbling. We are seeing this first hand when we look at our relationships:being a good husband or wife, a good mom or dad, good neighbors or friends. Not only do we feel inadequate but we feel like we don’t have adequate time […]

It all started on Sunday afternoon when my friend Khady called me and told me her grandma had died. Her grandma was like a mom to her.  I knew I needed to go to this even though it was about two hours away in a village I had never been to.  It was decided at […]

Some fun stories of what it is like to learn a new language and culture.

November 18, 2013

We had a holiday here a few days ago. We had no idea what it was for. We noticed different things happen during the day like boys pounding on little drums and little kids with wigs on and a lot of makeup. We didn’t think much of it except when our friend from school told […]

Tabaski

Tabaski

November 4, 2013

Overall, we think our visit with our neighbors for Tabaski went well. I will describe what went on but it hard to put into words the internal wrestling we had the whole day about what we should talk about with them, how should we act, etc. For instance, is it ok if we watched them […]
