A whole month has passed without a word and I can’t even think of where to start with all the things that have gone on since the last time I wrote. Really the main thing we have done is travel A LOT.
The first trip we had took us down to Guinea to visit a family down there who are in the process of learning language. This was a work that we have to travel to by car. It is a full days drive and we were bringing supplies down with us so our car was LOADED. It was our first time consulting this family and helping them since they moved into the village. It was great to see there context and get to know more of their realities.
For you today I have some pictures from our drive. Between the Senegal border and the Guinea border there are over 10 stops.
This is how you know it is time to stop
Or perhaps there is a sign like this
Most of the time Joel will get out and I sat and watched
Watched the people lining up to leave
Or watch the donkey as he crossed the road
Or the lady selling food
Just waited and watched
And waited and watched
At each of these 10 stops
However I am not complaining at all as Joel was in doing the hard work of presenting papers and waiting in lines to getting everything checked at each stop by a different official. I would not want to do it with out him. We were amazed at how smoothly it all went even with our car over loaded. We were very much praising God for his grace on this trip. To end I will show you a few more bonus pictures from our our time on the road.
Even with our car loaded we still be far had the more comfortable mode of transport!
